Knackered Battery ????
« on: August 23, 2005, 14:46:56 »
One of my kids decided following a stint in the 90 (playing in the drive) to leave everything turned on. Sure enough battery dead, well pusihing about 3v.

I put my charger on and it just does not want to charge, maybe the voltage is just too low already in the battery. I'd be suprised if it were knackered as it is only 7 months old.

Need to try a new charger.

Any thoughts ?

If its only 7 months old take it back under warranty should have at least a year on it  :lol:

Amazing this,

I've borrowed a charger from an old boy down the road. He had it made for him back in the 50's. It is a big black box with an on/off switch and a red light.

It has been charging for about 2 hours and the car already has life in it. Says something for todays modern H%*fords chargers.

Cheers

I know what you mean Kenny. I had a leasure battry on charge all yesterday the charger seemed to be working fine but the battry wasnt getting much of a charge on it (no liitle green indicater light). Ran the engine today for a short spell to check some of the other lecrics and low and behold when the engine was switched off there was a faint green light!!!

Damn battrey chargers.
