Hello there the battery on my 97 type r is draining completely flat over the space of roughly 2-3 days, this has just started over the last 2-3 weeks is there any common faults or problems that i could check to cancel a few things out myself before i send it to an auto electrician, we done a rough test with an volt reader we have at home when its running with lights and heater going it seems to be reading around 14.6 and when the car is stopped it seems to be around 13.6, is it possible the alarm on the car could drain it? any test or ideas would be greatly appreciated at this stage nothing as annoying as a flat battery.

Thanks Ryan

As above since the Tracker was installed on my 2004WRX the Battery goes dead after around 4 months.. Coincidence im not sure but didnt happen before it was installed...

sssssteeeee

check your lid light isnt staying on!!!!!!! mine did thid for 3 years and didnt know it, cost me a lot of money lol and stress. the switch in the boot can sometimes get stuck in on position. hope this helps, and halfords lol glad batteries come with a guarantee these days.

no theres no tracker installed to the car that im aware off and the boot lid hasnt worked since i got the car unless the blubs just blown and it could maybe still be draining away at he power, is there any way to test whats draining using a tester light?
