What do you suggest for the next step in the investigation?

Well you have remade the connections.

Surely the OP has remade the connections many times - every time the
battery has been removed to recharge it and replaced to start the car.


I don't remember that being said. Charged yes but not removed other
than when being replace by a new one months to a year ago.


You charged the battery while it was still connected to the car? I
thought that was usually likely to damage the electrics of most cars.

Bulll****.

The electrics is used to charge voltage - has to be.

Anyway 99% of the electrics is off when car ignition is off.

It
also means that you have to get a mains supply to the car and leave it
and the charger unattended overnight, risky for theft if the car is kept
on the drive.

The only time I've ever charged a battery, I've removed it, and taken it
into the garage to the charger and its mains plug. I thought that was
the only correct way to do it. Maybe I'm about to learn something :-)

eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such
time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic
and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally
important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for
the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the
truth is the greatest enemy of the State.
