Hi I have had a look through this forum and there seems to be a lot of well informed and helpful people around that may be able to help me.
I have a smart roadster coupe that has been in the garage for around 12 months with the battery disconnected. I went to it last week and connected the battery and ignition came on and could use the electrics but I didn't try to start it. Went to it today and reconnected the battery and nothing. I have had a voltmeter across the battery and it shows just over 12V but once connected to the car with the voltmeter across it it shows 5.5V. I get no ignition lights no response from central locking not even enough power to drive the hazards. And ideas/help as to where to start or possible cause would be greatly appreciate.
Thanks in advance
