I have a fresh battery in my car (Corsa 1.4 sport '99')
I thought it myt be my amp that is killing the car abttery but i have had the fuse out of the power cable and the battery still dies over night.
The only other non standard piece of electrics in my car is the astra gsi MFD but i dont thnk it could be that.
Anyone any ideas? These kind of fault could cost a fortune at a garage

If the battery is new then you have to think about a charging problem meter it should get about 14.3 v when ticking over.

If that fails, make sure that your boot light isn't stuck on.
Exact same thing happened when my dad was working at a mechanics skill centre, they replaced the battery, alternator, all the fuses and a good couple other things. Then my dad put one of the students in the boot on a hunch  and he confirmed the fact that the boot light was stuck on.
Always worth a check
