Hello everyone
I have a problem with the car, quite a while
I do not start the engine about .. 4 days at most ..
The battery is depleted.
I checked with volt meter, the load of the alternator through the battery and not through the
alternator that we have not found negative for the test, Walt - meter showed 14.3 it says loading, excellent!
Now what I did this car, exchanged alarm, and all the previous alarm took out all wires and everything
The new alarm was installed in a clean manner.

Now what's happening here is I was not enough to start the engine a few days then I once again repeat the same problem.
From what I know so far, have something stealing power.
What did I know that that - ABS occasionally (once every ..) recalled to work even when I turn the engine off he goes to work then I need to disconnect the (+) for a few minutes and then he stops,

what happens now that he's not working . but There's something stealing power. i am still could not understand what

Friend told me to do such a thing,
Disconnect the battery, to charge at home (I have a charge batteries) and return the battery on a good condition to my car

start the engine, give alternator to charge approximately - 20 min.

When I shut down the engine and disconnect the - (plus) for a few days, and return again and try to

move.
So we'll know if that's the problem of battery.

its that true ?



Thanks :)
 
How old is your battery? It sounds as if it might have flat lined. Try a known good battery and see if it drains over time.
 
Once you have charged the battery and know it to be good, the charge gauge should move very little with everything off. The battery is to start the car , the alternator is to power it. You ned to get a cheap voltmeter that has an amperage test setting. You should not need more than a 10amp. maximum range. It is hooked in line with the battery and you pull fuses or wire taps for add ons until you find the draw. The normal draw is less than .5milivolts /amps for the battery a minite or two after hooking it up. More than .5milli is bad. There is always a heavier spark like a draw when the battery is first hooked up. You cant' use that to find the draw very good but it has been done. Tres...
 
The battery is almost two years old, is in excellent condition.
it was a problem like 3 years ago , had problems the previous alarm, every few days I do not start the engine .
the battery was weak and drained ..

sry about my english . i just use google translate :)

anyway .. iam charge right now the battery and i will see what up next then
 
Use a voltmeter to check the connection from one post on the battery to the clamp on the other post and vice versa to see if those connections are good.
