We have a 1988 240 DL Wagon. Battery replaced less than one year ago.
Lately, the battery has been slowly draining. Then dies completely.
Volvo dealer checked it. Can find nothing that is draining the battery.
What might be wrong?
What might I do to check it myself? Can I buy a gizmothat can sense a drain in the battery when the car is off?
Also, they suggested using a "battery minder" because I do not drive it much. Is this worth it? Does it work under the hood or just on baterries that are stored away from the car?
I do drive it 2 miles up to work then 2 miles back every day. Would not this be enough to charge the thing? Never had this problem in the last 5 years i have been driving these short distances.
Lots of questions and I appreciate your input.
