Does anyone know the current draw of an F3 with the engine off?
Picked up a new LIFePO and something drained it down to 4 volts... possibly it was a bad battery, replaced it, and went on search and destroy with a clamp on ammeter, but really found nothing. However, now I'm only getting a 100ma draw vs the ~500 to 800 previously.
Another fun fact is when the ignition is turned on, there is a 10 amp draw, but if you wait a few seconds, it drops to 6. Should help with the starting issue I hope.
I put a battery disconnect on all of the add on accessories, but that didn't make a difference on the draw.
And to top it off, the specific LIFePO battery tender does not work right. It's flashing between charging and full, with weird voltage fluctuations.
FYI, this will fit if you bend up the top holding bracket:
