Hi
I've been having a few problems with my battery lately. The car drives perfectly but the battery is discharging as soon as the car is turned off. After 5 minutes I can't even start it. What could be using this much battery?
It's an MPI.
Cheers
Rasmus

Either your alternator is not charging correctly or your battery is sulphated or both, both the tests are in the electrical section of the FAQs time to get the voltmeter out. There is nothing other than the starter than could drag the battery down that quick.
