Thread: Battery Drain Again

Went away for four weeks, so dropped the D3 in to get the torque converter replaced, transmission serviced and a heavy duty transmission oil cooler installed in preparation for my new boat. I know, I know a Land Rover and a boat, he must have won lotto. Well after 17 years since I sold my last boat I have almost forgotten how expensive they can be, and bought another one.

Anyway. The D3 was at MR. Automotive from July 27th to today Sept 7th. So I checked the battery monitor and have data back to August 19th. Not sure why it doesn't go back further. It looks like it was charged that day and the voltage was about 10 volts before charging. I have a graph below with voltages from August 19th to September 4th where it was put on charge again.The car wasn't started during that time. The battery is an Odessey PC1350 installed January 14th.

Wondering if the graph may give some idea what may be going on. The way it plateaus after the 25th instead of discharging at the same rate maybe. Is something switching off when the voltage gets too low? I've had MR. Automotive and an auto electrician look into it and no luck. I've done my own investigations but couldn't track it down. The problem is intermittent which makes it harder to locate.

Anyone??

Sean, check your PC1350.

I had one and it was great for all of about 6 months and then began to drop charge. It’s the second time I’ve run them and been let down.

Worth a look.
