XS Power

Did I damage my XS D6500?


Recommended Posts

I ordered my D6500 a few weeks ago and decided to put it on the charger in my house for a couple days. The charger is a schumacher SE-5212A and claims fully automatic with engine start. I set it at 10A and Maintenance free deep cycle. It was on for probably 3 days and then I removed it for about 2 weeks.

I installed the battery in my truck on Saturday and drove around for about 45 minutes then it sat all day sunday. I went to a doctor appointment today and when I got back to work and shut the truck off I watched the voltage for a few seconds and it was at 13.6 and slowly falling and after 5 hours I went back out to the truck and it was at 12.1v

Is my truck draining the battery or is it just not resting properly. I hear it should be between 12.6 and 13.1

I just purchased a Schumacher 15A XC515 and will hook it up to that and see what happens. Glad I didn't hook my D3100 up to the other one I guess. Unless I just have not driven around enough to charge it fully or my truck is draining the battery.. which should not be happening I dont have any amps or accessories hooked up right now.

/sigh

You've got parasitic draw from something, Voltage shouldn't drop like that. A computer might not be turning off all the way.

Those chargers have a history of overcharging batts iirc.. At "crazy" voltages.

That's why I went with CTEK

Posted too early.. But maybe it killed a cell? Or maybe damaged a few.

The only thing I can think of is that my headunit + Nav module and the EQ746 all have constant power + Remote turn on, could those be drawing enough to drain? Or are they not supposed to drain power until the remote wire turns them on?

They'll drain a little but not enough to do that, Ima go with Hdorre and say a cells gone bad.
