electrical leak - opel vectra 03

luckoftheirish · 2008-12-02 09:38:26

i have had to jump start my car a number of times in the last few months, the battery seems fine and there are no lights on the dash to suggest a problem. This problem happens usual overnight, the next morning the engine is just dead. Is it possible that there is some sort of electric device that is draining my battery…

I'm certain it's your battery, especially with the cold weather we've been having- it really kills off a week battery.

+1, this cold weather is like the grim reaper for car batteries!
