    Parasitic drain need testing advice please

    Hello again. My car battery is draining completely overnight. I charged it up and ran it through a fairly decent battery tester which resulted in a GOOD BATTERY advice at the end. It tested charging, cranking response, load at 2500rpm etc. A known old battery was a fail, so I'm reasonably sure...

    Omron scales battery drain. Where do I start?

    Hi, I have these Omron BF511 scales which notoriously develop a battery drain problem. Normally they are supposed to last a year but suddenly they start draining a set of 4 AA batteries within a day. I took it apart to see if it has suffered from water damage. And indeed it had. The water...

    E39 530i touring - Nav fuse stray voltage on earth side - battery drain

    I have recently traced what I think is probably causing my battery drain to fuse 56 in the boot of my touring which is one of the navigation fuses. I thought could just pull the fuse to stop the drain as I never use the sat nav anyway but its had some other consequences. When I pull the fuse...

    Hi, I am a surveyor and we are currently managing some refurb works on a property. This property has an old Clipsal lighting system and a wired network installed in the past.

    Hi All, I've been asked to get a supply for a car park PIR light across the car park entrance from the existing light. The only way across would be by running the SWA cable in a drain that runs across the driveway (see picture). Is there any reason that I shouldn't do that? I can't think of...

    Audi battery intermittent drain

    Audi A6 – 2007 Since I bought the car 2.5 years ago at a main Audi dealership it’s had an intermittent battery drain which I’ve tried all sorts to trace. It’s getting steadily worse and none of the ‘standard’ techniques have traced it yet, mostly due to the intermittency of the fault. The...
