TomsFocus Posted Thursday at 06:00 PM Share Posted Thursday at 06:00 PM Hmm, one of my Mk2's had a new battery during the warranty period around 2 years old. That then failed around 8 years old after a couple of weeks without use. The other one was on its 4th battery at 12 years old, which died after being left unused. But that one was keyless, and it's not a great system on Mk2, the keyless ones do seem to rip through battery unless they're used every day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tizer Posted Thursday at 07:49 PM Share Posted Thursday at 07:49 PM I think you need some of my Lucky White Heather Tom😁, the one on my Mk 2.5 was almost 10 years old and started first time after sitting for two months. I did check the Sleeping Current Draw before not using it and it was only about 10 mA, I can't remember exactly, my current car is nearer 50 mA. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomsFocus Posted Thursday at 08:02 PM Share Posted Thursday at 08:02 PM All this talk of batteries is reminding me I should probably check the Golf battery over the weekend. Think it must be 3 or 4 months since I last ran it. Not keyless fortunately. Still in the same property so mains charging isn't really viable here. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
