How long should battery last without use or charging before dead?
I’ve seen various battery threads but nothing addressing the following. With everything going on I’ve been neglecting to drive or tender the Jeep battery and went out today to see it’s fully dead and could not start nor unlock doors with fob. It’s probably sat unused for 3-4 weeks and prior to that maybe a few short trips around 10-15min across a couple of weeks. (During those trips no dash warnings for low battery)
What do you believe is an acceptable time a battery should hold charge before being dead.
I do have some aftermarket accessories and will do a check to ensure parasitic drain is not adding to this. Most are going to aux switches or tapped to wires that are only hot when on to ensure power is fully killed.
Rockslide engineering steps
CB into Aux switch
Ham direct to battery (Never left on)
Radar detector tapped into mirror (tapped to a wire only on with Jeep)
Warn winch to aux switch via solenoid
Trigger plus to aux switch
Trigger plus switches leds tapped into mirror (tapped to a wire only in with Jeep)
