[QUOTE="Ridge Runner, post: 478407, member: 3775"] Like all series' Two Mitsubshi's they come with the factory Duel Battery System, When I got it One battery had died seeing as it was almost fresh off the boat so I replaced them both So I would have a correct fitting Date and then I started using a company vehicle during the day for a couple of months so instead of just leaving the truck on my Drive letting the batteries go flat I hooked up a 15w Solar panel and within 3 to 4 weeks the batteries were flat even though I had done a couple of short trips in it to the local shops during that time etc, Then when I went to start it they were dead, I charged them up and they lasted for 2 or 3 weeks and it happened again In the end they would not last for 8 or 9 days, So I replaced them again, and it started to struggle to start and I Could work out what was killing the batteries, so I tested it to see if the was a parasitic drain and that's when I discovered that those fancy Clifford Car Alarms can chew up to a couple of hundred mah per hour sucking the life out of your batteries, And then my brother started having the same Issues where his 50A battery was not starting his car after 10 or 11 days after being parked at home even though he would do one day of short trips and the following day he would do a 250 mile round trip, When before hand his car was fine, Turns out He got a Clifford Alarm fitted, So I tested his system for him and he had a 130/150mah drain So I told him to get a bigger battery, Now he started to panic so I measured his battery Tray and told him to buy a 75 to 85A battery that would fit and he did that and no more problems, [/QUOTE]
