Battery

Hi guys, what's the likelihood of getting through two batteries in about 14 months? They're the cheapest batteries you can get, or do I have a power drain somewhere. Alternator is working fine and as it should. Tia

I’d say you have a power drain somewhere

I thought it might be. Any ideas or common things to do it?

Even a cheapo battery i’d expect 5 years out of it

Some Amazon/Ebay cheapo batteries are badly remanufactured and will often last just a year if you are lucky - Operative word being some.

Got mine from euro car parts. It was a lion battery. Cars been if the road for a few months, so will be putting a Bosch one in tomorrow. If that dies, then I know it's the car

Lion batteries are fine. As someone else said, search YouTube for 'parasitic draw' and do some testing.
