Battery dead every time
Never had this problem in my previous 5er, but something is killing my battery. I had it charged up two weeks ago when being used and this week it's dead again. All lights/fans are off, tvs are unplug...

I would:
Check Converter DC output at converter AND at battery..is it really charging
Check battery voltage with a voltmeter
Check water levels in each battery cell
Then using a hydrometer check each cell specific gravity
Then take battery to any auto parts store and have it load tested
IF everything tests good.........
Connect voltmeter between battery neg. post and neg. cable and measure amp draw
Then start pulling DC fuses to isolate circuit that is draining battery.
YES there are parasitic drains on battery...LP Detector, Radio memories etc. but they should not cause a charged battery to go dead in 2 weeks......several weeks yes.
Good advice, but I do not agree with the 2 week statement. Yes the parasitic loads will easily kill a battery in 2 weeks time. Get a disconnect installed...
