Flat Battery Empty 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.

One potential culprit is an alarm fitted with ultrasonic sensors.

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.
