So the scores on the doors.

Completely "full" 12.83V on Monday at 10am after 24+ hours of charging. Sat 9am 12.11V.

A drop of 0.144V per day.

Is the battery goosed?

I've got it on charge again

Probably need a new battery to be on the safe side

You def need a new battery - to check the alternator you'll need to check the voltage engine running - 13.6v plus is what you need.

If the charge is dropping off that quickly and the battery has been on the car a few years i would change the battery.

If your still having the same issue after fitting a new battery then you have a parasitic drain somewhere on the car.
