Flat battery?
Flat battery?
My battery is only a year old (to the day!) and was absolutely fine a few days ago - could it really have gone from fine to completely flat in the space of a few days? It's not even particularly cold.
I could understand if the car reluctantly unlocked and then didn't start, but for it not to even unlock and the immobiliser light be off seems a little odd?

Used my car last at the weekend and it was fine, started perfectly, no hint of an issue whatsoever. Went out to the car this evening, hit the button on the key and nothing. Wondered if the key battery might be flat but peered in through the window and the red "security" light on the dash isn't flashing making me think the car's the one with no power.

24-11-2018, 12:25 PM #5could buy some thing like this and attach direct to battery and leave it to see if you have a drain on there
davidjamesbattersby no lights or accesories left on at all?
This would be my guess. Give it a full charge and see if it does it again. My battery is old and on the way out, it may not start after a few days or a week, but it will unlock on the button, and interior lights etc. will work still.

Common on the IS200's it would seem.
You should retail your 'leisure' battery install Stav

I'll give it a charge over the weekend and see what happens, and yep may have to take it back for a new one!

I'm pretty sure nothing was left on, unless there's a fault somewhere that kept something on. I am doing really low mileage at the mo but still the battery was showing no signs of weakness.
