    Default This May be the Solution to the Dreaded Battery Drain

    I came across this on YouTube. Not that I need it, but it automatically shuts off power to connected accessories after the engine is shut down. Looks like a solution for anyone out there who might have battery drain problems. I ask though, does it draw more power if a tender/maintainer is hooked up at the same time?

    After 4 minutes I lost all interest. With the dark glasses and all the BS talk, I'm out'a here. I've never had a "dreaded battery drain" anyway.

    I never had battery drain either, but some riders/owners aren't that lucky. I was Only thinking of Them when I posted it.

    I've had zero battery drain issues. My bike sits still for 21 to 45 days at a time. No tender on it and it starts immediately every time.

    I'm just guessing "canamryder'' has something, possibly an aftermarket item, attached to a hot lead or a worn through hot lead somewhere in the system. A tender/maintenance unit supplies power, it does not drain power. A leak in a loom is very hard to trace and I wish you luck in finding it. Just a simple 12v tester may be your best friend in locating the leak. Just start probing all the lines that should not be hot.

    I have had NO electrical problems with my 2019 Rally. Only problem is that in my #1 posting I should have worded it as "looks like A solution for anyone with battery drain problems" not "THE solution to me".
