Battery issues

[Smuel]

My 2020 pioneer 500 battery drains down from the rig setting in the garage for only a month. Don't know why, my 1998 foreman sits for 6 months no problem. What is going on ?

Have you added anything electrical to it at all?

 

[Montecresto]

You have done no electrical modifications to it?

All the above will drain your battery quick like a shopping wife will drain your bank account!

Some electronics have a constant draw depending how you wired it as well. Let us know what u have so we can help

Put it on a tender.

A tender is a good idea for a machine that’s going to set for longer periods without being started as all batteries will slowly discharge naturally. However, a tender is not a suitable solution to electronic accessories that may be wired incorrectly, leaving phantom draws on the battery…

i went to start mine yesterday after sitting about a month.stone dead,only a winch hooked up.put it on the recondition setting and it's nfg.less than 2 years old and i'm out $150.think my extended warranty will cover it? nope.honda extended warranty is a piece of garbage.i'm spending more out of pocket these days than my warranty coverage.

I keep the tender on it, I need a battery cut off I guess.

I'm about 50% more anal.
Aside from my batteries living life on tenders,
All my accessories are powered from a fuse block through switches to the accessory.
All switched off, I have no parasitic draw.

You mean you have (or think you have) phantom draws that exceed the tenders ability to keep your battery hot???
Perhaps you should one at a time pull the fuses from each accessory you have connected to see which one is the culprit….🤔
