Hi all my disco was fine I was using it at weekends and it was starting first time after 5 days stood, then I went to it last weekend and it’s completely dead. The doors won’t open nothing works, I put the CTEX charger on it and it fully charged and conditioned the battery and all was ok. Now after a couple of days it’s dead again. Is there any common issues that cause the battery to drain?
Trying to narrow my search down.

How old is the battery and what is the actual battery reading - you need to get a battery tester onto it to see how it actually performs after going flat. Recharging and conditioning with a CTEK wont fix a base problem if a Cell is on its way out. Must stop buying shiny toys....

Do you have any extras fitted? i.e. dash camera, if so first disconnect them as they are a known cause for dragging the battery down, check the centre cubby fridge is off as they also Drag the battery down. It can when others can't,
It will when others won't,
It goes where others don't.

Also. Did you leave the suspension on high ? I did this on mine and the battery died after a week.
