vt kills batteries

[justin]

i brought a 99 vt exec. brought a new battery for it i noticed that it was draining the battery so i decided to wait until id go to get it checked out. 2 days later the battery is dead completly it wont charge. it is a battery with the display and it says dont charge what could be the reason for this?

Faulty battery, new = warranty and replacement

However you may have an underlying issue. Get a replacement battery under warranty and see if it does the same

What brand battery?

the battery is a super charge i just discovered that the boot light stays on so i removed the bulb could that explain it killing the battery though id understand it going flat but not dead

[axemurderer101]

That could be it. My mate had a busted glove box and the light inside there would stay on all the time, it chewed through batteries till he figured it out...there was also something dodgy happening with his amplifier

with a battery charger. tomorrow i will have to look over the glove box aswell before i put another new batt in it

If your car drained the battery to the point of failure I'm pretty sure they don't have to replace it under warranty.

If bought from a chain store, then prob be able to say was flat when he got it and store prob replace straight away.

Do it soon though.
