How do i check how much drain there is on the battery? if i leave the van parked up for more than a couple of days it wont start. charger seems to only want to charge it to 75% so the battery may well be on its last legs but i still have a feeling something else is draining it.

Just found the test method in the wiki to find a drain.

can someone tell me what the recommended battery is? think im going to replace it as a matter of course as i have no idea how old it is and it wont charge above 75%.
thanks

I'd leave it another two...
they're about £50 for a new one..halfrauds sell them too, just tell the shop the dimensions (wiki) and they should get you the right one and there are ones that fit exactly
