I would have thought so. He is one of the best at this kinda thing so I would have thought he would have done that :)

Do you have a multimeter? If so its a piece of piss to whip the negative terminal off and put the meter in series between the neg. terminal on the battery and the neg. clamp. That will tell you 100% if you have a parasitic drain.

If he did it correctly and you had no current drain then it quite clearly points to a faulty battery.

Well I thought that so I went and changed it to the s5 and it's still happening. So that's 3 different batteries. The original oem one, the excide and the Bosch.

Then there MUST be a current draw from something.
