if you bought the battery in April, dig out your reciept and take it back to where you got it and get it replaced with a new one as it'll still be under warranty. does seem like a bad cell as it is not holding its charge. when running at around 14v it is showing the alternator is working fine by keeping the current up.
If only I knew where the damn thing was?! :lipsrsealed: I know I wouldn't have thrown it out, but i possess a lot of crap! :laugh:

Starting to sway me into thinking new battery though! If I can't find the receipt, it'll be ECP with 25% discount! :smiley:

it doesnt take much for batterys to get a bad cell, you normally find it happening over winter if the cars arent used on a regular basis
