Default Re: Century Batteries

Wonder if all the extra electronics that cars have these days could be another problem as well with parasitic loads on batteries while the car is off.

Notice with my Focus that it can't sit anywhere near as long as my Caprice before not wanting to start, Focus can sit about 2 weeks before it turns over too slowly, Caprice will sit for over a month and still fire up.

Focus has DIN75L and Caprice NS70 so they both have bigger batteries fitted than the factory fitments but even stock for stock same deal.

Could have something going on with the Focus electrically, the OE DIN65L batteries only lasted 12-18 months regardless of brand since the car was new, then when I put in a DIN85L, it lived for 5 years and I just replaced it because it was a bit old.
