Hi
Yes , have done running volts check on battery direct etc, all tight and looking as new and coated with petroleum jelly.
The Ctek battery sense does show that when the car is started the charging voltage rises so i think all is ok on that front as i get good readings from the alternator under load.
The drop is when its stood for many days but it seems as small as 60ma is,  its enough over a few weeks to deplete the battery.
i think now its just been a cold winter syndrome and things will improve as it was around a month of no use last summer that ran the battery down, which again i understand is normal ish.
Thanks for all help.
