Bongo has died

[1982socrates]

We have driven the bongo for a few weeks. I just tried to unlock it with the fob, nothing. So I unlocked it with the key turned the ignition and nothing no lights, no engine turning over absolutely nothing as if it has died. The battery is just 6 months old. Has anyone got any suggestions as to what might be the problem?
Thanks

Flat battery
Did you leave something switched on??
Check the voltage across the battery terminals, should be more than 12.6 volts
Recharge the battery and see if it happens again.

Even with a new battery it could have gone open circuit, complete failure.

Definitely the first place to look.

Seem to remember there were cases of some stereo's draining power even when supposedly turned off.Do you have a leisure battery or any kind of conversion?

You're right about stereos.

I think it was mainly the Aldi/Lidl jobbies.

I had the same issue when I stopped at my parents recently. When I turned the key in the ignition - nothing. I also have a fairly new battery but the problem was that the connections to the battery had become loose. I tightened them up and all was fine.
