Start problems diesel 2lt Partner battery 12mth old has been problem slow turn over and unless starts in a few turns in cold weather it fails to go with appearance of flat battery.
Charger I have tested leads from charger at 20v on multimeter setting showed 19.45
Testing batter with multimeter showed 11.43
Testing battery while being charged showed 12.34
I'm wondering a starter fault taking in power from battery but not powering to turn over engine.
Many moons ago I had escort that gave same problem new fully charged battery started ok next day appearance of flat battery even though test registered 12.4 at shop where I had bought new battery.
My company I worked for said get garage to test it your starter, they found the fault repaired faulty part free and it was so good it nearly spun the car over not just engine.
Thanks! any other ideas will be welcome

Further to previous post
mm = multimeter. Setting at 20v DC
Battery charger test
connecting charger leads to mm leads with the mm set at 20v DC
Reading on mm is 19.50 on rapid charge setting of charger.
Is reading correct ? Or indicating fault
Another charge test connected 12v light to charger leads, powered up charger light lit indicating current flow but obvious not value .
Battery on garage bench state of charge.
Battery on fast/ rapid charge all yesterday day
. over night charger removed, reading on mm 12.73 12noon today indicates holding charge
☆ON CAR BATTERY
Battery on car without charger connected mm reading 11.93 indicating Mr full charge.
Battery condition indicator should show green. It doesn't, it shows silver circle with red dot indicating 'charge
Given that both of the batteries show high reading,especially the one on car I would have thought this had power to start car(Diesel)

[quote=numpty999 all ok now car started on another full charged battery Left running for 3/4hour. Have the poss faulty battery on charge if doesn't take charge it goes back and it's only six months old not 1yr looked at warranty.
tested,alternator is charging by connecting multi meter set to 20DC to battery with engine running reading 14.43,( this is how breakdown service tested it ) thanks to all for your help. Now I've said this bet b.,...r wont start.].
