Draining Battery S80

I hope you have a nice neighbor with jumper cables. If you are in a garage, invest in a battery minder to keep the battery charged.

It is always possible that the brushes in the voltage regulator are worn down and no longer producing 14.4V. If the headlights are always on when the engine is on, your battery will not charge at idle. Also when the heater blower is trying to warm up the cabin at the same time.

Taking the car to an auto parts store had having them do a 'load test' on the battery and alternator is also a good idea.

Shovel that snow away!!!!
