matt14 Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 Battery is done for sure. Was at 12 volts at midnight when I went to work. By the time I went to the gym, it was resting at 11.9. Another tell-tell sign, my alt is steady charging at 14.4, it usually charges in the mid 13's. Got a new one on the way, just hope it makes it before I get stuck somewhere. Before any body says it, there is no draw from anything while the car is off, I disconnected my HU, amp, radar, and phone charger, and all battery and big connections are tight. You sure you dont have a drain when car is off? It doesnt have to be the aftermarket equipment you installed. It could be something factory, or even something as easy as a glove box light staying on Quote 2006 GMC YukonPioneer HU SHCA ran throughout Crescendo BC3500 One 18 AA Mayhem in a 4th order ZED Levithian 6 channel Rainbow Dual 6.5 comps ran Activehttp://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/155628-matt14s-yukon-mayhem-in-a-4th-ordernew-amps-and-bats/page-3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan @ XSpower Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 12.1 at resting is dead. I would check your entire electrical system for sure. What size system do you have in this vehicle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrionStang Posted December 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 Matt, I went through and checked a bunch of random wires and stuff. Car has no glove box light, trunk light goes off, rechecked all the wires behind the radio. Nathan, right now there is only a Sundown 125.2. When the issues started, I had a 200.4. I have a 1200.1 on the way, so I hope its just that the battery has run its life. Note: I had to get a jump at the gas station yesterday, would hardly turn over. This morning, the battery is at 11.9.

SnowDrifter Posted December 18, 2012 Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 Try this: Drive your car around for a bit, then turn it off and unhook ALL wires from the battery negative terminal. That way you will know for sure if it is some sort of parasitic draw or if it's the battery itself Quote ~~~~~~~~SAY NO TO PHOTOBUCKET~~~~~~~~ Snow's DD-1 tracks here: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/167433-snows-dd-1-tracks/ My take on OFC vs CCA: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110381-things-that-piss-you-off-in-the-car-audio-world/?do=findComment&comment=2461444 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyblack76 Posted December 18, 2012 Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 (edited) Hey Ken, Have you noticed, or was there more than norm corrosion on the posts, or any bubbling, hissing, of the sort? A constant (as drifter nicely explained, parasitc) draw, big enough to pound that XS in to submitting,That fast...., may have left you a message...... know what i mean?

OrionStang Posted December 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 Drifter, its done, won't start. I was lucky I was at the gas station when it died yesterday. Kyle, the posts are clean. No hissing or bubbling. Seems completely fine except for the voltage LOL. Pretty sure its just time for a new one (on the way already).

OrionStang Posted December 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 Just hope it gets here quick, its almost sickening to have my car sitting there dead. Quote SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan @ XSpower Posted December 19, 2012 Report Share Posted December 19, 2012 That battery shouldn't have been that low if there isn't something going on in the electrical system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
