Battery Flattening (2013 Ecoboost Fiesta)
Whilst a flat battery during a pandemic lockdown is not at all surprising, it's happened three times now on my wife's 2013 1L Ecoboost Fiesta which doesn't seem at all right. I am charging the battery as we speak and, once complete, will be taking parasitic current measurements as the obvious first step towards finding out if there's anything amiss on that front. In the meantime, is anyone aware of common culprits on this model that I should be looking at first if the current draw is

The colder the air, the denser it is. When you decelerate, the volume of refrigerated air slows down more than hot air, because it is heavier. This is what then slaps you in the face making it seem colder. Of course, there's a fair amount of hot air in this response... 🤣 -
Thanks nicam, I’ll pop down tomorrow and see what I can find! -

So as an update. Outside temperature today showing 24 degrees and it's still blowing relatively cold air when it's blowing directly at you. It seems to blow colder when I either brake or decelerate. Not sure why this would be. Maybe some liquid refrigerant moving around?? -
Obviously it depends a bit on usage and environmental conditions but I would suggest a 7 year old battery is coming to the end of it's life. Couple that with the long standing times with the current Covid situation and I'd guess that's the likely problem. I had a 10 year old battery once that I limped along with, had to charge it every two days despite doing a 30 mile trip each day. Eventually they just don't hold the charge.
