Hi, I have a 07 V8 vantage, not used it much due to work, however pulled the covers off last week to find the battery flat, or so `I thought. `when i` tried to start the engine the starter motor clicks and the lights dim, so new battery later, same problem, put a second battery on to the jump a start point under the bonnet and got "Vicky" started.
Took her out for a 30 mile drive, get back and will not start agin, checked new battery voltage and down at 10.3V, jump started again and charge voltage is 14.4 v.
For me the new battery is u/s, but am I` missing something ???????

Our girls have the same name. That is my Vicky

Don't tell me yours is Tungsten Silver as well smile

Have the new battery checked, if it is ok maybe a bad ground stud or connection.

Cheers

Christian
