Just came home and was going to take trip this week with quad. Battery would not hold charge. Jumped and motor showed 13+ charge idle, 14.5 with a little gas. I was putting in new battery this morning and checked volt with dv meter 12.5. Connected positive first and when connecting the nev. I checked to see if I had any power draw. I did 11.6 volts key off 12.5 key on. The question is should I be seeing a drain. It is hot in the florida sun, in a storage unit. But I am losing it. With everything disconnected and just the two main leads, wouldn’t my charging have been higher with old battery? I forgot to change stator when I had it apart hope that isn’t a problem now. Was too hot I did not start with new battery so I don’t know if charging numbers changed.
