battery/charging system problems

sp2c · 26-01-2015, 03:33 PM

Not been using the car much recently, probably every 2-3 weeks & every time battery hasn't enough charge to start the engine
Is this normal or do I have a problem?
New battery 12 months ago
Any help appreciated

If you are making relatively short trips It may not be enough to give it a full charge. You may want to put her on a trickle charger if you have access to a power socket.
If not, get one of these, they are truly life savers for all things charging...

Any signs of a red warning light?

Tbh sounds like battery is foobar, possible if you have let it run out a few times. Do you use a conditioner?
