Why Your Battery Keeps Dying — Fleet & Business Jumpstart, Nuneaton
New battery still going flat in Nuneaton? That is a parasitic drain or charging fault, not a bad battery. Drain testing plus fleet jumpstart on-site.
Repeat flat batteries are a diagnostic job, not a parts job. The measurement takes longer than the fix usually does.
Fleets working out of the CV10 area — courier, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, roofing, letting agents — call us daily. We know your vans, we know your yard, we know when your first drop is.
Fleet vans die from parasitic drain more than anything — trackers, dashcams, tail-lifts, refrigeration. We identify the drain, not just recharge the battery.
How a drain is actually traced
- Quiescent draw is measured after the vehicle's modules have gone to sleep, which can take 20–40 minutes — measuring too early gives a false high reading.
- Charge acceptance is tested, because a sulphated battery can read 12.6V and still hold almost no usable energy.
- Bulk battery pricing — replacement AGM/EFB batteries at trade rates, not retail
- Every fleet jumpstart finishes with a charging-system reading, so the same fault does not reappear next week.
Usage patterns that flatten good batteries
Cars left standing on Victorian terraces for a week or more between uses are the other common case in CV10.
Locally that means Nuneaton itself plus the neighbourhoods that feed into it, with access via M6 J3 and A5 and a practical radius reaching Bedworth (~4 mi) and Bulkington (~4 mi).
Who this page is for
Owners in Nuneaton on their second or third battery for the same vehicle.
Domestically, Victorian terraces and post-war estates dominate around here, which shapes how these jobs are accessed and worked.

Drain faults found nearby
Recent job nearby: a car in Nuneaton on its third battery in two years. Drain measured at 480mA, traced to a boot latch microswitch keeping a module awake.
Recent job nearby: a vehicle off M6 J3 flattening weekly. Alternator produced 13.1V under load — replaced the charging fault, kept the original battery.

Repeat flat battery questions
Q.Could short journeys alone be the cause?
Yes, and it is more common than people expect. If that is what the readings show, the fix is a conditioning charge and a change in usage, not another battery.
Q.Do you cover Nuneaton and the CV10 area for this?
Yes. Nuneaton is inside our routine coverage from Oldbury via M6 J3, roughly 9 miles from Coventry. We also cover the surrounding neighbourhoods on the same run.
Q.How do we open a business account?
One phone call and a fleet list. First job on account can go the same day; formal terms confirmed by email overnight.
Q.Can drivers call directly?
Yes — we tag your account against your fleet's registered numbers so drivers don't need to authorise every call, and admin still sees one invoice.
Q.Is a parasitic drain always an electrical fault?
No. Sometimes it is an aftermarket dashcam, tracker or alarm wired to a permanent live. Those are the easy wins and we find them first.
Q.How long does drain testing take?
Allow around an hour. Most of that is waiting for the vehicle's modules to sleep — rushing it produces a meaningless number.

The short version
Repeat failures are solved with a meter, not a parts catalogue. Find the drain, fix the cause, and the next battery lasts its full life. That is the whole job: diagnose it properly, fix it once, and explain what caused it.
