I even had my clock drain the battery in a week on my Cessna, had to pull the clock fuse and use a davtron with a built in battery backup.

Hi Guys. 

 

Here is a question for those on the list that know about the vagaries of why batteries drain down to 10.2 volts in about 10 days time.  This 12v, 24AH, sealed lead acid battery was new in Oct 03.  It has held a charge(except when I leave a switch on) until now.  I can not find any closed circuits except for the little electronic compass that draws little.

Thanks for any help!

Tommy James<>< (tired of pulling the battery out and bringing it home for recharge…solar charger on order..:-)
