Ive been getting this problem for a while now and found out that my alternator wasn't putting out enough so my battery was just getting run down all the time when i had my lights and music (700 watt system) on n all those other essential winter things like the heater/blower.
i bought and fitted a 70amp alternator from mini spares and thought that had solved the problem but the other day i had a flat battery yet again and the night before i hadn't even had music on so im thinking that the spot lights will need to come off.
Has anyone else got some ideas/suggestions that i could try ?
Another thing ive noticed is that with everything turned off on the car when i put the negative terminal back onto my battery i get a slight spark, this will only happen once and i was wondering if this is normal or if ive got something a bit iffy somewhere ?
Cheers Ryan

Sounds like you could have something draining the battery! Have you got a amp meter you can connect to see if you have drain?

yeah ive done that and its like nothing and it only sparks the once, if i take the terminal off again and touch it back down i don't get the spark. will have to go over my car with a fine tooth comb at some point but there are so many wires n stuff that i just want to run away from it lol

i believe so, tester showed that it was fine after i charged it but ive got an uprated battery on the way but i have no idea when i will get it as a friend has bought it at trade price and hes keeps forgetting to bring it to me
