You're probably right but while a battery is not expensive in the grand scheme of things, unfortunately money is a bit tight at the moment, so I'm loathe to shell out for a new one if it's not needed... and it tested good just a fortnight ago. But clearly I need to get myself a cheap multimeter to test and see what's really going on. In the meantime I can just keep topping it up with electricity...

I could probably try that, it was cheap after all and shouldn't be too hard.

Yeah, that was a bit tongue-in-cheek, because it was such a long list. That said, I am a bit concerned there's a short-circuit (per the DTC) draining my battery; but it's just as likely the battery itself causing all this...
