With regards to my car for sale, eagle eyed readers might remember I had a battery drain issue which culminated in me buying a new battery. In case you were concerned that hadn’t been fixed, it wasn’t the common fault of the “hedgehog”.
I’d bought a cheap Chinese Bluetooth OBD2 reader, I never managed to get it to connect to my phone so I never used it, but I forgot to unplug it! Turns out it was doing a great job of running the battery down every 3-4 days attempting to connect.
I disconnected it and replaced the battery anyway as it was recommended that it be replaced. It’s my understanding that if you have to jumpstart a battery so many times it’s detrimental to its health. Not sure if that’s true but I felt it was a good idea to do things properly.
