Howdy!
Thanks for all the advice on the drained batteries in
my M1009...the two I had in there both turned out to
be bad (about 1.5 and 2.0 volts each under load). Not
sure if I just had rotten luck and got two bad ones
before or what happened...the 110 degree Texas heat
the past few days may have zapped them.
Had free 2-year replacement, so popped the two new
ones in and it cranked right up. The alternator was
replaced about 200 miles ago with a brand new
higher-current one. I might still need to get that
checked out anyway though.
I still think I want to go ahead and locate a mil-spec
solargizer though...and a master disconnect...both
were good suggestions. Also a good idea to meter out
the current draw and try to isolate that...that may
take a little time.
Thanks again!
