[c-tourer] [tourer] Start battery discharge in 4 dags
Verfasst: Samstag 21. Oktober 2023, 11:32
Hi
Hope its ok to write in English as my German is to bad.
My start battery is one year old (Varta). I have found out it drops fast in charge when the car is standing for some days. It goes from 100 % charge to 60% in 4 days. Radio is not connected att all to startbattery. Only my intruder alarm (Thitronik) is connected.
Wen measure on the minus side of the battery, with nothing on in the except the alarm connected is variets between 100 mA and 200 mA. Removing the alarm fuse it takes 100 mA.
I have read in many Fiat Dukato forums around in Europe this is a common problem on the year model Carthago tourer 143 2012 and other models of cars produced on the same platform.
On some forums they say the problem is from the charging switch that first charge the start battery and the the leisure batteries. Some mention this can be the CAN bus drivers in the motor.
The problem is very disturbing as i now have to plugg the car into mains 230 volt all the time, and is afraid to freecamp and not be able to start the car.
I have seen many people have this problem on there cars.
Do any in this forum know what can be wrong and is there anything to solve the problem?
Best regards from
