Brand new Interstate bats last fall.
Over the winter the bats were found dead. Unit was in warm shop at the time so we charged them. Leaving the machine sit for a couple days drains the bats.
Finally, I made a point of turning off the disconnect, and the bats were dead the next time i checked!
Pulled both bats out, charged them, and started to monitor them. They both stay fully charged on the bench. Played around with them over a couple weeks and can't say there is anything wrong with them. Can't understand why they stay charged on the bench but drain when in the machine with the disconnect off.
Any experiences like this out there?
