Folks,

Installed a G12V16EP Battery in the Spit in early 2009.

I have arrived at several recent events with a drained battery. (PIA). I usually turn off the master switch prior to transit. (The last time I left it ON).

System shows no current drain with the Master switch on.

Have I used up this battery?

Any other ideas?

TIA,

Rog

I would say that 4 years on a race car is pretty good for a battery. I don't know if it will actually work, but the BatteryMinder brand chargers are supposed to have a desulphating function that works on AGM batteries. Desulphating will usually get you a little more life out of a battery.

I would assume it's dead, they don't like deep discharge, being drained all the way down. I have killed a few that way, that would have had some more life left in them.
