Yes Alternator, I meant to say "like an alternator would", nevermind! I took the car into the dealers for their quick look and between several hours and several discussions with the mechanic, they haven't got a clue. I do not recommend lunch of tea and biscuits! They provide sandwiches at the Lexus garage.
Ah you have left the lights on. No!
Ah the dash cam is draining the battery. No the usb turns off with the ignition. I ran it for two years in the Prius gen4. Ah this is a different car. It still turns off. I don't think.so. I checked. No it has residual voltage on it still. No I checked with a voltmeter.
It doesn't charge with the mains charger. Yes it does I have checked.
When you ran the aircon/heater it drains the battery in the morning, the charger turns off when it's fully charged. No the mains charger turns back on when you do that, and charges the 12v battery as well.
I'll check current leakage. Fine.
There is 500mA drain on the battery. That does not explain how it was completely flat overnight, I have left interior lights on overnight on other cars without adverse effects.
Must be a faulty battery. What about the 500mA drain.
We are replacing the battery, next week fine? If I must.
While we are at it. The Phone charger does not work. Ah you need a special phone for that. Yes I have one. Ah what model though.Just listen it does not work, it will not turn on. Please don't hit your head against the wall. LOOK the phone worked fine in the last car. Ah we will have a look.
Further installments next week., if I'm not had up for GBH!
