Goosed Battery?
Posted: Tue Jul 22, 2008 11:40 pm
Hello,
My factory fitted cube seems to be draining the battery within seconds, so I presume it is 100% gubbed! Roughly, here is the scenario:
1: Drove 230 miles to Blackpool
2: Hit the red RESET button
3: Turn ONLY the internal lights on
4: Wait approximately 5 to 30 seconds, before power is cut and red light refuses to reset
Now, if I keep the engine turned on, everything in the cube works flawlessly, and I then turn the engine off, and within 5 to 10 seconds, it runs out again. I tested after EDI to BLACKPOOL, and again, when I arrived back home in EDI.
Can anyone recommend a good replacement which will offer the best (safe) power in the space available? Not fussed how much it costs, I presume they are not MEGA expensive.
Gary.
