hey guys, I am trying to track a heavy amperage draw on my truck that manages to seemingly kill the batteries quick!
The batts had a full 100% charge from the batt charger @ 8 amps over a weekend. The batteries were weak enough this morning that the truck was completely dead. Ive got a Shuriken medium battery upfront, and 3 NSB 90's (big) in the back. They have alot of reserve, so to completely drain them to me must be a huge drain.
I really dont know how to track a drain, and dont know what setting to use on my meter to do so, I do have a current clamp to but Ive never used it. The truck has alot of wiring from myself, big 3, power/ground runs to the back batts, auto electric rad fans, aftermarket heated seats, various switches, 2 amps etc. So Im not really sure were to start. Everything appears to be off, and still connected properly.
The truck was stored for about 18 months (but was started weekly, and always on a battery tender) and I just put it on the road again (but some maintenance/audio work was done)
Where would you guys start tracking this?
