16674kms..2years and 4 months after installed a Tudor TB450 battery, the battery dead.

Without any advertisement(typical). Before this day I did an 400kms trip,without any problem.

I thought probably the source of this was in the alternator, but after install the new battery Varta B23, I checked the battery charge values and everything looks OK

At idle
