General Battery not holding charge

[Oldsckooler]

Hi,

battery seems to be not holding charge, car work fine if i charge the battery, but leave it over night, and it wont have enough charge to crack engine

any ideas where there could be a power leak, how can i test my alternator?

cheers

Classic signs of a knackered battery mate.. The cold weather can also kill off a battery on it's last legs, I'm afraid..

Just to be sure though - just disconnect the battery over night and see if it has any charge in the morning when you reconnect it.

If the answer is yes then you know it is a power drainage problem, if not then just get a new battery.
