Dave Stringham said:I am certainly not a battery expert but reading your post, it sounds like your batteries are going dead fairly fast. I dont even know if the batteries you keep getting for free are the right battery for the application.
The one I'm getting is the biggest 12v car battery that Wal-mart sells, so I don't think that's the problem. I'm guessing the drain time is around 3-5 days, but I never have tested the draw as you mentioned to know for sure. As a contrast, the 2 6v house batteries were only about halfway drained after sitting for 3-4 weeks - so they are lasting much more than the chassis battery.

I wish I knew! I would love to have that handy little feature. But as Tom mentioned it's a feature that may or may not be there, depending on make and model I suppose.
