Re: Battery Sudden Death - TDI

'97 Passat TDI did the same. Drove around town starting & stopping. The
next morning lights dim, radio works, no crank. Put it on the charger but
didn't help. This original VW battery is the only one I have seen die over
night.

I just got the general purpos top/side post battery from Wal-Mart. I use
it for my tracter too.
