The two things you need to learn is the use of a multimeter both for voltage and amperage checking. As has been said here a tired battery may take a charge, reading 13.5 to 14.0 volts or so with the engine running but will not "hold" a full charge afterward, about 12.6 volts that is normal at rest. Test for parasitic draw using the amps setting across the two terminals of the fuse holder with the fuse removed.

New vehicles, tractors, - everything will draw current for the computer in surprisingly higher amounts over time such that if the machine has not been run in 30-60 days or so it will result in a low battery.

The first fleet arrived in 1788 and consisted mainly of convicts who were poorly equipped and new little of farming techniques. The colony remained far from self-supporting and it was not until the early 1800's that things started to improve. Free settlers started to arrive, they followed the explorers across the mountains and where land was suitable set up farms. T
