Hi, I have just joined this forum and would like solutions and advise on how to solve the same old story of the battery draining on my Chrysler grand voyager 2006 CRD Limited 2.8 Auto Diesel. I have just paid out on a new alternator and pulley as it was screeching and very hot and it has been starting okay for the last week.........until this morning! I used it last night for a 10 mile run with 6 adults and the aircon up high, with lights and radio on and this morning it is dead! I have looked at forums which suggest batteries with over 600 CCA and don`t want to part with a lot of cash if this does not solve the problem. Batteries suggested are also 086 or 096R but that does not mean a lot to me. Also looking at Optima red top battery which CCA = 815A but that is nearly £140.00! Any suggestions as I love my car but the wife is saying get rid!
