 Vauxhall Zafira A - 01 1.8 car battery failure modes - spamcan61
evenin' all;

This is just idle curiosity really, but wondered if anyone knew what kind of failure could cause a car battery to behave in the following way.:-

Battery suddenly dead on Zafira - 11.9V no load, swapped out for spare battery and Zafira starts fine.


Trickle charge old battery in my shed up to 12.7V.

Leave for a couple of weeks and virtually no voltage drop.

Put battery on my lovely Vectra to test, absoluteley no sign of life, not even solenoid click.

Check battery voltage, still 12.7V???

any ideas anyone?
