OK, long one..
I've recently purchased a Century Overlander 4x4 battery as my other one was going flat overnight. I assumed the old battery was knackered due to the fact the alternator test via the Multimeter read fine. However, I've had my new battery for five days and what d'ya know..get up to go to work and she's dead. No lights, not even a flicker.. Completely dead.
So, next test was a parasitic draw test. Negative terminal off, positive lead on the negative of the battery and the negative to the removed negative cable. ZERO amps drawing which is odd because it should draw at least 20 to 50 milliamps for a normal system.
Anyway, no matter what I do, I can't trace drawn amps and the alternator comes up as fine..
Any other suggestions because I'm about to set fire to the effing thing..
