[QUOTE="saat, post: 386445, member: 77"] Actually it is easy to check. Any battery shop will do it for you. Jarance is right. The battery shop will use the meter to check the state of the battery or the state of the alternator. The shop will be able to tell you immediately. So it can be your old battery, new battery, the alternator or the circuitry that prevents a good alternator from charging your battery . There is another possible cause i.e. there is a short in the circuit causing your battery to be discharged. My boss once had it with his brand new Honda Accord and it took a technician from Japan to detect the real cause of the faulty. There was a trickle discharge and he found it difficult to start the car if left undriven over the weekend. [/QUOTE]
