Common Problem ???

[pdavison]

My TVR S3 is normally used as an everyday car, but has been left for four days over Christmas due to the constant consumption of alcohol.

When going to start it this morning, the battery has not got enough life left in it to start the car. This has happened once before when the car was left for two weeks.

Does anyone know if this is a common problem or does it sound like my battery has given up the ghost ?

Any ideas would be much appreciated.

Cheers

Thanks for the advice...I will give it a full charge and a service and see what happens.

The volt meter has been reading about the same as mentioned here (12v) with all the lights, fan etc... on, so it could just be a case of the time of year combined with being left for a while.

The only other thing that could be draining the battery would be the alarm, but I don't think this is likely.

Thanks for the advice, I'll let you know how I get on.

Cheers
