Just got a brand new 36 month free replacement battery on Jan. 2. Due to recent bad weather, I drove it fairly short distances 2 days in a row, didn't drive it for about 2 weeks, and now the battery's dead again. I can't see that any lights were left on, and the stereo kill switch is turned off. I did notice, however that the second time I drove it, it was a little harder to start so I checked the battery voltage. I don't remember exactly what it showed, but it was less than 12 volts, and although the van started, it didn't start as easily as it should. At that time, I noticed that I had an unused plug connected to the aux battery, and there was a blue light on around the plug. I promptly disconnected it when I noticed it. I also made sure that the dash cig lighter plug was not pushed in. When I first got my van, I didn't know there was a stereo kill switch, so the stereo was drawing current, and it killed the battery. Got a new battery then, and that battery lasted nearly 10 years without any issues at all. What could be drawing current this time? Or is it just not charging while I drive?
