Unexplained Voltage Loss - Land Rovers Only

helievacpilot · 03-23-2008, 12:24 PM

99DII. After sitting 2 or 3 days my battery voltage drops to the point that the Disco won't start. If I drive it every day, no problem. At first I thought it was the battery. Replaced it with an Optima Red Top from another vehicle. Still drains. Tested the voltage at the terminals while it was running and got a steady 14.2 -14.3 volts. I'm no electrical genius and don't know where to go from here. Please HELP!!
Thanks - Bill

Clean and check all your connections, if it still happens get your alternator tested, not uncommon for them to drain your battery.
