I have just replaced the battery 3 months ago and now i need to get a new battery what do you think the problem is. A battery every 3 months is going to be a killer.

Hi there,

Ask your mechanic to do a current draw test, this will show up any circuit that is drawing power when it should not be, like a stuck relay, if he dose not know how to do this re post and i will give you all the details.
