Battery fault?
Posted: Sat Apr 13, 2019 7:12 pm
Hi,
We purchased a 2011 petrol QQ (50k Miles) last week to keep as a holiday car in Spain. We have had 2 occasions, one in the UK and one in Spain, where the battery appears to have gone totally flat for no apparent reason. On both occasions, the doors of the car had been open for a while (once for about 20 minutes when loading up the car, and second time was after the door had been open for about half an hour). On both occasions we have had to jump-start the car. The car has started perfectly every other time. We are at a loss to know why having the door(s) Open seems to result in a totally flat battery (to the extent that not even the fuel gauge registers the fuel level).
Any suggestions please?!
