Goddamn Electrical Drains

[Swervin_Mervin]

Anyone else have a problem with their cars draining batteries if they're not used for a bit of time?

Got 2 new halfrauds batteries on exchange for both cars recently. The big heavy duty jobs.

PCC has been sat for just 6days and this morning wouldn't start. Enough juice to light everything up and lock it but not enough to turn over.

Takes the piss. Is it the alarms that are fitted or are they prone to draining batteries for other reasons?

halfords batterys are crap mate - take them back and buy a bosch one from costco and u will not have a problem again.

Can you keep taking them back though like you can the Halfrauds ones?

I think 6 days to get a new battery flat is more to do with current drain than the quality of the battery. Mine takes about 2 weeks to kill the battery. Never traced th leak, so I remove the battery negative whenever I leave the car for more than 1 week.
