i have an odessey 625 that is 5 yrs old and has only begun to be used last oct. it has spent 100% of its life on a schumacher maintainer. now i at times run into a situation where the battery won't spin the engine. other factors may be involved too. this is a jab 3300 with the old model starter, engine is new, engine is tight when hot.
soooooooo i don't know if it is my starter or battery is to blame.
i took the fully charged battery to carquest and a load test said it was good. i know how load tests were done 20 yrs. ago, can they be done so easily with a 1 lb. handheld digital thing as carquest used in a few seconds?
here are a few stats on my battery on the tender and where its voltage goes after being taken off the tender.master solenoid, starter solenoid , diode were installed per b and c instructions. any opinions where to go next?
battrey charge immediately after coming off tender...13.23 volts
after 24 hrs off.......12.92 volts
after 5 days off........12.74 volts
is it possible my wiring setup is causing a draw? i have not disconnected it and checked voltage yet.
any suggestions appreciated.
