Thanks for the replies.
It sounds like I either actually do have a duff battery (it’s two years old by the way) and it’s giving a decent burst of juice the first time then fading out, or it is a connection problem.
[/size]If the latter, I’m thinking a bad earth strap as it stops the lot working rather than just one system.Having said that, what would cause me to see the 12 volts between the disconnected –ve terminal and the earth strap when I hook up the meter? Maybe I should have been checking current instead of voltage?[size=9pt]
