    Hello. I have been struggling with the problem for 2 weeks.
    The car doesn't just start ticking. I attach below two videos. 1 as it is after several attempts and another when it is fresh. The car behaves like this after a long standstill. For sure the battery is ok because I checked it on 3! I will add that it fires from cables or on pride. A professional was exchanging a disc with LEDs in the alcove because the consumption was very high. But as you can see, it didn't work. Another curiosity that if it goes with cables, all I have to do is 1km and then it will start - until the longest stop.

    Do you think this is ?? It would not always happen ?? and me only after a long break. There are no alarming symptoms while driving.

    You have a circus with a meter that you start from this. And motor voltage measurements as it works. Meter weight with battery and body.

    Symptoms indicate that the battery is in poor condition. It would not hurt to check the electrolyte level, preferably its density and charge it well. Clean the battery terminals, check if the weight is good and it should be OK

    You probably have a problem with a lack of weight. Check all ground connections to see if they are corroded. Check battery charge status and clamp status.

    Ok thanks for the quick reply. Now the only question is whether the lack of mass can cause power consumption ?? And if so, will the spec know that it's mass ?? Maybe stupid questions but I'm green in it

    If there is no mass, it is the same as if you removed the clamp from the battery. Logically thinking as there is no mass, how can the battery discharge?

    Gentlemen, this is not wine. It was tested on 3 batteries !!! And my personal was checked by 2 guests and everyone claims to be functional.
    As I speak, hooking up is nice. Yesterday it stood 12 hours on another battery and it worked, I got home, I put the car away and after about 8h again the breakdown ...
    As the electrician says, there is no consumption because he removed the consumption from the altka.
    Besides, if it was consumption it is strange that it can drain the battery so much in such a short time.

    It is not strange at all. If the current consumption is even low, it is normal that it will discharge the battery. It is possible that the battery survived its own.

    It often happens that it weakly connects the clamp on the wire to the ground. Such ticking is a characteristic symptom of low mass. Check the starter mass.
