I replaced a flat Battery and now after a month with only a little driving and a fair amount of standing for 3 days it has gone flat again

Could this be an alternator problem? (I fitted a replacement alternator pulley.)

No warning lights about charging?

I believe the model is not fitted with auto-start/stop.

Could be its not getting charged correctly or there could be a drain, do you have anywhere that offers free Battery checks local?

they should be able to check if the alternator is working correctly.

As long as the new pulley is the same diameter that is not an issue. Do you have dash cam if you do and it's hardwired is parking mode on? I would start with a voltmeter. Anything over 13v with load on should mean alternator is possibly ok. In which case you could be looking at parasitic draws.

Normal alternator is normally around 13.5v-15v

Smart alternators is normally around 12v-15v
