Hi Forum,

I have a 2000 2.7 Boxster and I'd like to ask if there is a fault in the electrics. It needs charging or running at least once a week. When fully charged the meter only goes down as far as 4 on the scale instead of to 2. It had a charging problem in the past when a previous tracker caused the battery to drain, but I'm beginning to think it wasn't completely cured at that time. The battery is new but the car couldn't be left for a couple of weeks when I was on holiday or the alarm would come on when the battery ran down. Surely the red dash light wouldn't cause the battery to run down too quickly? Thanks, Barry.
