I had my sitting for about a month and the battery went dead. Charged 'er up and now it won't hold a charge for even a week (used to for weeks+) So I guess it's done.

What's a good/better replacement model? Wanna stick with AGM of course.

Drove mine fr Michigan to Naples in October and fly down for a few days every three-to-five weeks (not yet retired). With every trip down and a couple hundred miles on the Zee, it feels like I am cheating the whole time. Great to be able to extend driving time.

I did the same thing ... put her away for the winter but forgot to hook up the CETEK ... once i remembered to hook up the charger to the battery it was dead dead and didn't want to charge ... so I hooked up the big charger but the lights in the car kept coming on and upsetting the charge so I disconnected the battery from the main terminal (man that was a pain in the @$$ ... the carpet doesn't come up enough to get in and work on the battery, and all this weird shizz is bolted to the top of the battery) so I got it charged with the big charger, started it up and the odometer says ---- and all the tire pressure monitors say -- and it wanted me to roll the windows up and down ... bloody hell I won't forget to hook up the CETEK next winter on the first day that I am not going to drive it for a while.

PS ... what do I have to do to get the odometer and tire pressures back on? I'm hoping once spring comes and I drive it a bit they will just magically start working again ???

It's strange. One of the advantages of AGM batteries are the ability to deep cycle and not die.
Also, interestingly the trickle charger won't touch it when that low, nor would be AGM charger. Had to connect a conventional charger to it to get some voltage into it first.
Getting a new DieHard battery to see how it does.

Good luck!

I've been leaving work at around 7/8 lately. Next time I leave "on time" I'm hoping to be surprised by the sun still being out

What the hell is always sucking that battery down in these beasts? Every time I go for it, it's drained...even with a new battery in it now. (have trickle charge going now).

Also, when voltage is low, there's some kinda ticking underneath in the rear that goes constantly. What is it?
Thx

Give that beautiful girl something nice to lay on during the winter

We're not too far away, at least I can't drive my car since it is at the Xpel installers...makes waiting easier, but hard too because I can't pop the garage door open and look at her

Sounds pretty damn good! Cool color choice too, they also have neat (probably very expensive) where you can get the cross flags or any logo on a large tile

shipping wasn't bad from what I remember, but the end pieces add up quickly but finish up the look
