2 Odyssey PC680s dead in a 2 week span.... coincidence?
#16
Well as of now I’m going to write it off as a bad battery. It’s weird though because it never happened except after a good 20-25 minute interstate drive. Is there any reason why (only) a longer drive on the interstate would cause a parasitic draw to occur?

So the other night when I did the test I didn’t really leave the multimeter connected for longer than a few seconds..
tonight i I was going to do it and leave it plugged in and all and start pulling fuses but noticed that after about 5-6 seconds the draw amperage drops down to .01 and bounces between .00 and .01 (10 milliamps?).

Right when I was starting to think the battery problem was behind me.. today, after a couple weeks of driving the car around with no issues at all, the battery just died cold turkey out of no where. was showing no signs of dying.
so back to where we were. This is the 3rd pc680 battery that’s gotten killed in a month and a half span (since having the built motor swapped in and new injectors put in)
this is really starting to frustrate me.

You can start with a simple test. Take your DMM and check the voltage at the battery with teh car off. It should be around 12V. Then start teh car and check the voltage again and it should jump up to around 14.5V which would indicate that the alt is generating power. Start with that and report back.
