My 245 eats batteries for lunch, help guys! 200

posted by  someone claiming to be mechanic on  Fri Apr 19 02:34 CST 2002 [RELATED]

Your regulator could be allowing too high a charging rate and burn out the battery.

Other than that you might have a relay sticking. I had that one time and it took 2 batteries to realize what the problem was. It turns out the horn relay had one set of contact that closed just enough to drain current, but not actuate the horns. I found it when I was changing the battery and happened to hear a very small click.
