1997 Discovery, Battery continues to lose charge
Greetings. Drive a 1997 discovery with ~70k miles. Recently (3/2008) the battery about one year old (replaced 2/2007) has been losing its charge not allowing the vehicle to start up. In thinking that it was a bad battery, jumped it and brought it over to the mechanic for a pro rated swap out replacement, but the mechanics test results show the battery to be fine and he says its within the parameters of voltage. We gave the battery a good charge, but it loses the charge every 3 to 5 days. Presently, can't rely on the vehicle and can't keep re-charging the battery every few days. What's your take?
