This is a common fault.

Any chance of a video of that Ross ?????
I go to mechanics and auto sparky's thinking that I know what I am talking about but immediately after say they say Hi, how are you, it's all down hill from there.....lololol

Maybe wear looser shorts mate an then you'll be able to find it hahhahahahahahahahahaha

Best bet Ross is to shoot down at a Auto-Sparky, they will do a load test on the battery and see if its any good.. They can also do a current draw test and see if something in the vehicle is sucking power when everything is off.. One of those will tell you pretty quickly what the problem is.. Let us know how you go Rossco

For the price of a new battery, I'll tell you what the problem was. lol

Put the new battery in as the cranker and the 'old' cranker as the 2nd battery. This will be replaced when I get my solar, set up

Thanks everybody.

Take care out there.
