It apprears something is draining the battery in the Nob. It's been going flat within a day or so, so I assumed the battery was goosed ( but it's only a year old ). Anyway, I disconnected it from the car, charged it fully up and left it for a few days. Reconnected it and it was fine. So I left it overnight and it's flat again. So, anyone had a similar thing ? Radio/CD ? Alarm ? Tracker ?

connect an amp meter at the battery, see what current is being drawn with the vehicle standing with every thing off, from this reading you will be able to work out how long it would take a battery to drain.

if it looks like quite a bit is being drawn when the vehicle is standing, systematlically remove fuses to see what the culprit is.
