I dont beleive it. I have suffered from flat batteries ever since having the car. Bought a new one recently, even bought smithy's grounding kit and guess what......

 

 

flat as a pankake and it wont charge.

 

any sugestions. battery cells are fine. auternator is brand spanking new

how long have you been leaving it?

the alarm may be draining it!

i had a similar problem with a different car. it turned out that there were two alarm systems (the old one had been disconnected) and they were shorting eachother out!

get an ammeter and put it in line with your battery, remove fuses one at a time until you see a significant fall in the current, this will find you the offending circuit which is draining it.

thanks clarkey

 

i think its the alarm. but we shal see. its dead in 3 days if left.

not something like a boot light of glove box light staying on is it?

thanks clarkey

Got the same problem mate, Been looking for ages. tried the ammeter test, pulled all fuses and its still draining. if you find it let me know. Getting p1ssed off with disconnecting the battery all the time.
