Hi, I have a fairly new battery, less than a year old, and it doesn't hold any charge anymore. The other day I was going for a ride and found the battery completely flat. Checking the various fuses and where the load went I found the biggest current draw to be a temperature gauge I recently fitted. Anyway, battery was completely flat and my Optimate wouldn't charge it. Eventually I put the battery from my Honda parallel to the BMW one and got some charge into it, but I never got it above 3.5/4 Volts. When connected on its own after that to the Optimate it just didn't charge it, although it regarge the Honda one easily.
Anybody got any idea what's wrong with the battery and any possibility to resurrect it? Thanks!
