May be a difficult question this one, what should be the 'locked car' current draw on my car, I,E over night.
I thought my battery had gone or going, Bosch silver top, indicator on the top had changed to 'check' a few months ago, I don't now how old the battery was.
One cold morning, xmas time, it turned over slowly and later after a short drive, it didn't start it did after a jump start.
Checked running voltage, 13.8v idle to fast rev. I bought a new Bosch Silver with a blue top, 95 amp/hour 830 CCA.
I've checked the voltage the morning after driving the night before and 48hrs with no car use and the voltage was 12.4v, I've been on a few long runs so it should be fully charged now?
I thought the voltage should be little higher with a new battery, even though it's winter and an average of 0C, am I wrong?
