I have to haul a load of hogs tomorrow and want to take the good pickup. I haven't driven it in a week. Apparently, when I did I left the key on the accessory position and it was DEAD. I charged it a while and drove it to town. I still didn't think it was cranking fast enough so I put the 10 amp trickle on it - it pegged at 10 amps.
How much life does that take off of a battery? It is a year old. It was a surprise when it happened so I put a Walmart battery in it. I got a good one, but it wasn't an Interstate like I like.
I checked before I came in for lunch and it was down to a couple amps. I've managed to never do that on anything around here. That in itself is a miracle considering how many batteries there are on this farm. It still makes me mad, though.
