Range Rover BMW Diesel 2001 - Battery keeps going flat - Fixed #Archived Message

The battery was renewed by the customer in October 2008 although there was no actual problem with the battery (precaution due to age of battery). Since then the battery has gone flat when stood over 2-3 days twice, on both occassions the temperature was below 0deg. The charging on the vehicle tests perfect and with an ammeter connected in the battery line the static current draw when stopped is 0.1amps max. Disconnecting the battery over 2 days and connecting a slave battery to the vehicle neither battery went flat. The disconnected battery dropped from 725cca to 680cca in this time. Any thoughts?? Many thanks Ivor Jones
