The batteries on my Cosworth used to last until the first time
we went
on holiday and left the car to stand for a week or two, after
which the
battery would not hold a charge.

Hell, cars sit around dealers yards longer than that...

What, you think I'm lying?

I think that *you* might have problems, not that you are lying about
any fault you might have / had with the car, battery or self...


IIRC, the problem was that an alarm system was drawing a heavy
current.

Not just an alarm. I never managed to measure the current, since
the
inrush current upon connecting the battery blew the 2 amp fuse in
my
ammeter.


That about sums this all up.... :~(
