Flat Battery
New vehicle battery in my 08 Symbol 3 weeks ago - i assumed the old one died with the cold weather. New battery dead after 3 weeks - i never got my solar sorted!
Are there enough small electrical drains on the van to flatten a battery that quickly? Nothing had been left on.

Re: Flat Battery
One potential culprit is an alarm fitted with ultrasonic sensors.

Re: Flat Battery
Speak to the supplier of your new battery.
Most likely not fully charged when you got it.
Could be on a shelf for months if not years.
Always found they hide the date of manufacture!!
buyer beware.
