hi i have a strange problem
the car drives with no problem
a couple of weeks ago took the wife shopping
parked then came back and the car battery was flat
got a jump start and no problem till a week ago
then same thing happened got a push fine after that
till this morning went out to start it battery flat again
i think there must be something draining the battery
has anybody had the same problem and how did you fix it
its a 2003 206 1.1 look
battery and alternator ok
thanks in advance

Got for a 30 min drive the. Test the battery and see what volts it comes back. Should be just under 12, if its a lot less than that then u know your problem, if unsure what your doing take it halfords and they will tell u !

No.
Battery should be at least 12.75V with engine off, and 14.0V engine running.
Even then, you can't be sure it's OK 100%.

Get the battery & charging system tested by someone who knows what there doing & has the correct equipment.
Modern car batterys do just die when they reach the end of there service life, its not like the old days where a battery would give a few months warning its on the way out.
