 Toyota Yaris II/Vitz - Dead battery - smokie
"Have you a digital multimeter? After you've charged it, leave it overnight and then check the voltage. It should be >= 12.6."

That's the point I'm at now :-)

"Have you checked to see if there's anything that might be draining it that shouldn't be?"

That's what I had in mind, but I don't really know how. The interior light isn't on, nor are any other lights. Is there a way to test, with limited tools and aptitude?

It's the best part of £200 so although I am pretty sure changing it will solve the problem, it'd be disappointing to change it then still have a problem. Happens too many times to me with one thing and another, and is getting expensive.



Of course what it really needs is to do more than 1000 miles a year, but she won't drive mine...


EDIT: I just found a YouTube which describes how to look for a leak... now on tomorrow's agenda...
