Check the voltage before you put it on the car, if it's less than 12.7 then put it on charge first. They don't always get sent with a full charge

funny enough learnt that lesson some years back, fitted a new battery thinking that would resolve the issue, checked it and was at 12 Vdc , so indeed from then on always charged them before hand , plus on mine I always charge mine via the 12s towing socket , so much easier than messing around as don’t have to lift the bonnet , lol

New battery has not fixed the issue

How much is the voltage with igntion on with the new battery?

Doh. Forgot that detail. It’s 12.9v

thank you xx

If it 12.9 after standing all night then its defo fecked, weird high voltages are as bad as low voltages, but you do need a multimeter to check these things.

The 11.6 was read yesterday - which was 2 days after the battery was charged and since then it's obviously not been run / charged.... but we've had the ignition on and off loads trying to work out whats been going on (doors been open with interior lights on, radio etc)

The battery is only 6 months old - it's a 5 Year Yuassa x

D3 ign on but engine off, interior lights and dash on you are a brave mad to leave it even as long as 30 minutes tops before you have a potential no start situation, lots of modern cars are like this, real battery hungry.
The yuasa are good, my last one lasted 3 yrs, changed by halfords under warranty at no cost to me, the previous utter dog**** exide was dead at 18mths.
Sometimes you can strike lucky and recover a discharged battery, other times you are out of luck.
