Yo people this is frustrating. get up in morning battery dead flat. it has dropped cell, ok no worries under warranty new one supplied excellent. less than a week later flat again. okay, check light switches all good, what about boot light, nah it works perfectly.when i fitted recharged battery there seemed to be more sparks as it connected, so i lifted cable up and repeated connection, way less sparks. not the same draw off of power it seems .whats going on?. car is all good for a couple weeks and bang bugger me it does it again.
been good for last three weeks but dont fully trust it, have paranoid wife to boot. if any one can help me out id really appreciate it .

With a new battery out of the equation it's time to test a couple of things...
If you wanna eliminate the possiblilty that something is staying on you really need to perform a current draw test using the correct testing tool.
The other concern is wether the alternator is doing it's job correctly.
May need to seek an autoelec, mate.
