2002 S 60 battery drain - where do I start S60

2002 S60.

I don't think the battery is the problem but it could be? It is a 3 year warranty and I am into the third year.

About 1.5 years ago I had the no-start corrosion at the starter situation fixed.

Yesterday I removed the positive wires at fuse box and it was fairly clean. I cleaned it a bit more.

I'm wondering if there is corrosion again at the starter. I think it is covered by a box and I can't seem to see how top open the cover.

With my tester on the car is charging. Turned the car off and I could watch the voltage dropping. After cleaning the wire at the fuse box and wiggling the cover at the starter the voltage didn't drop as fast.

In the morning the car barely had enough remaining energy to start.

When did car batteries get so expensive and from what I read they have less lead in them and don't last as long.

Any ideas?
