The stealer had to change the battery for what he assured me was a brand new one at the time of sale a year and a bit ago (and of course I believe every word that dripped from his silver tongue).
While I know short trips are often the death of even decent batteries as they never ever get fully recharged. I am a bit disappointed with the rapidity of the Voltage decay.
I have the Jog unit in place to eradicate the drain from the RF receiver and BeCM wake-ups, and a Solar panel wired up to trickle-charge. Still the voltage drops over about 4 days from >12.7 to <12.4.
Of course, there could be something else waking the BeCM or otherwise draining the battery.
Anyway, my question at this time (if a more knowledgeable and kind person could please help) is:
My Ctek charger has a "reconditioning" program to de-sulphate the plates but how often should one run this program? If run too frequently does it harm the battery?
