Default Accessory Voltage?

Please tell me what your battery reads while the key is turn to Accessory mode.

I am currently reading 12 volts and then 14 after starting.

I never paid attention to the accessory position power

--nevermind i guess that is normal

Just trouble shooting a possible power issue

Yeah that sounds about right. What are you troubleshooting?

me being an idiot..

I had a dead battery the other morning.. It was our first cold morning.

So i go and purchase a new redtop as the girl tested my current redtop on the machine and tells me it tests bad. well i did not find out until later she test charged on a rapid charger machine. This battery I am told requires a slow 2amp charge.

So any how i do not know if her test really put the final knife in my original redtop or not. So i end up with a new REDTOP and guess what, the next morning i have another dead battery.

I am an idiot and some how turned on the cargo area light and could not tell it was on, due to the cargo cover being in place. This was the culprit of my dead battery.

I just wanted to make sure i still was not having a battery drain issue after noticing it at 12 volts while in accessory mode.

Thanks
