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.
I was thinking the same thing unfortunately. My previous 5er had the similar parasitic drains and could last up to a month maybe two at best. I was hoping someone would say check this or that.... I will definitely be take my vom to the items mentioned and have the battery tested ...thanks for the advice fellas.! I will also look into the battery disconnects seems that will make life a lot easier.
