Battery losing charge

[ross85]

Just wondered if anyone knows what could cause a battery to lose charge? All I can think of is a dodgy earth or alternator? It's for a mate who hasn't got net access. He's replaced the battery with a new one and that's lost its charge too.

It's charging but losing it after a few days, but we can't find anything that could be draining the battery.

Take it to a Kwit fit type place and ask to have it checked, could be one of the cells has gone.

check all the bulbs mate, i had one in the boot that stayed on constantly and drained the battery everynight

does the drivers door switch work correctly as this 'turns off' the window switches they have 2 leds in them that can drain you battery
