More battery woes

[Wanderer]

I noticed a rear interior lamp staying on after locking the door and after the delay. Sorted that by locking with the key, figure that out. However battery is completely dead again and charger thinks it's a 6v now so looks like whoever said it was right, knackered.

This one is 2.5 years old, from Tanya and is a Yayusa or whatever the name is.

Should I go with same or try the Bosch?

I'm guessing you have charged it several times now mate and letting them get that flat does them no good at all.
Got Bosch batteries on our 3 cars which were on the cars when we bought them so don't really know how old they and can't fault them for me.

Yeah is lockdown lack of use and not really having a sorted trickle method, car outside. I have the clamp on the negative terminal now so when I get new one I'll just unclamp it when not using car.

My cars parked in my large workshop now since we moved here last June i don't lock them anymore so no drain from the alarm on the Jaguar or Porsche the Renault 4 you could leave for a long time and it would start.

I bet it's illuminating a little red or blue light from it a very low voltage draw but it will all the same.
