Considering that the battery might give a high reading just after being charged, I rather look at the last 24 hours. Which says it lost 0.04 volts over 24 hours.
I'm not sure what that really says, but if the car won't start with anything lower then 11 volts. I still have 31 days before the battery is at 11 volts.
Off course, this is without any load on it. When I reconnect the leads, it will give a very different picture.
Am I right in thinking that it is not very plausible that my battery is the problem? Have I rulled this out enough to say that I should keep looking at the amp-drain from the car's electronics?

If these are the readings with the battery not joined to the car then your battery needs dumping.--- |
