[QUOTE="Mystyk59, post: 52698, member: 217"] Just a question , Are you using a rooster booster ? . I was having the same probs for a while with my 4000 . Sometimes i would only get 2 hours out of a fully charged battery, sometimes it would go for 5 or 6 hours. I was going to fork out for a new battery but then the plug to the battery from the rooster booster fell apart when i was disconnecting it ! Sent it off to Bendigo gold and while it was away borrowed my mates Nugget Booster and was getting the normal 10 or so hours from the battery . The same with my coiltek mini booster . They put a new plug on the R/B for $40 bucks as it was out of warranty and it has been fine since i got it back. So it might be worth running a different booster on it to see if that solves the problem if you are using a R/Booster, before forking out $400 for a new battery . Hope this helps Regards Bill :cool: [/QUOTE]
