Hi
My Mum has had a Toyota RAV4 for over ten years. Some time ago the original battery was replaced with another which would go flat very frequently, so she replaced that one with another and that one goes flat just as often.
The batteries seem to go flat if the car is not being used even for quite short periods. She has to take her RAV4 out every day just to make sure the battery is kept charged.
She has tried to get the original battery as supplied with the Toyota in the first place but for some reason that does not seem to be possible.
I had thought that maybe there is a problem with the alternator but then, it seems that the battery does charge up when she is out driving.
She does use the car frequently but always short journeys.
It seems that the batteries go flat very easily on this car.
I wonder if anyone here might have some suggestions for a solution to the problem?
Thank you.
