[keap_scooby2]

[p1ggm]

my god you type fast...

ok have you charged it up??

[keap_scooby2]

just charged while running.

getting a bit hacked off with it.

as fit the battery is ok, i will have to rinng traker again to complain as it looks like its the onlydiff

[p1ggm]

do you know anyone with a drop tester...or do you have a multimeter...you can check the charging and see if something is draining it

[keap_scooby2]

i know there is a .14 amp drain aa told me but thats the radio been told.

[p1ggm]

naa, it would have to be bad to drain it dead in a night

i take it all the terminals are tight...not corroded...

i would charge it up as much as you can then get it drop tested, this will show any dead cells, unless it is a sealed battery

[keap_scooby2]

hi there, i think its a sealed battery, not seen any covers to remove ..... on that i think its dead!

[p1ggm]

yea theres not much you can do with them, new one shouldent be to expensive, i reccomend bosch....or exide

[keap_scooby2]
