what's the difference between this place and MBWorld.org??
anyway... i really need some help.
----------------------------------------------------
Whenever I leave the car idle for 4 successive days, the battery dies and I cant even open the door (need to use the mechanic key)
I tried 2 fully-charged batteries and the result is just the same. It happened 3 times so far.....
I think it's not related to the alternator by logic because
(1) if I dont leave it idle for 4 successive days, no problems at all. I'd been driving the car for more than one month until the first time it could not start after being idle for 4 days.
It implies the alternator is charging the battery.
(2) if the alternator fails, the warning light should turn on.
I tried to disconnect the alternator and the warning light did turn on.
(3) i checked the voltage of the battery during engine run, it read 13.8V so I think the alternator is working.
(4) the battery was fully charged before I installed it.
(5) If everything goes off including the boot-lamp, the amp-meter reads 300mA for the battery.
Someone told me in the technical menu, the std currect should be 50mA.
But I still got a big question.
Even if it's 300ma, the battery has 100A in total. Well assume it's half-full and has only 50A
it should still last 50 / 0.3 = 166 hours or 7 days.
but it just dies in 4 days....
of course, I will get it a service check by MB but any clues?
