So some advice will be greatly appreciated.
Came home last night (25m drive) with headlights on; nights are drawing in. Switched off on drive; opened garage, tried to start and battery flat! Before I rush out and replace the battery, I will have it properly tested but to do that it needs to be fully charged so I wont know the final outcome until tomorrow morning. Hopefully, it is just an old battery at the end of its life, but if not .? Fan belt is fine and nicely tight so am I right in thinking that if the alternator was failing to charge, the ammeter and/or ignition light would have given me some prior warning? My ammeter has always shown a positive charge, some way between 13 (mid-point) and 15. Yesterday was no exception. Should the battery be OK, what do I look at next?
