    No stress mate thanks for your help though.

    If I leave the car for a week it definitely drops that's all.

    I've got kelvins led lights inside but I did notice there was a very faint glow when left them on door switch so I always leave them on off.

    Looking back at the pic, is that a small glow from the test light, of just from the flash ?

    Nah flash, it's pitch black here under the bonnet and 100% no glow at all. Strange...

    Are you sure your battery is just not holding charge ?

    How are you judging the loss ?

    Just carefully looked again nothing.

    Ill try the deep cycle tomorrow. Possibly draining from there and somehow sucking from the piranha system which it shouldn't do of course but you never know.

    Volts are down and engine cranks over a bit slower than normal of left.

    Definetely could be holding charge issues. It's a fairly new battery but my alternator died in south aus a couple of years ago and I drained it down to 4 volts coming home.

    That sounds more like it mate!
