Anybody have ideas on how to kill a battery so AZ will warranty it? I had
a bad alternator and replaced it and now my charging system works, but after
sitting for a couple days the battery goes completely dead. I've charged it up
and took it to them to test the system and it puts out but the load test comes
back with a low charge and a possible dying cell. They're telling me they
won't warranty the battery until it completely dies.....it does take a charge.
Could there be somewhere else that draws from the battery while sitting for a
length of time? My brother is buddies with the guys in a store about 180 miles
from here and he'd have no problem getting them to do a battery swap for me
but getting there is a hassle right now. I'm not for sure if the car would
make it that far. I think it would because the system is definately putting
out enough voltage but not being a electrical wiz I'm not sure and don't want
to be stranded. Could the starter be causing a draw when not running? I've
been told by a couple people it could.
Thanks in advance
