[QUOTE="allrider, post: 871323, member: 20376"] I know it's way after the fact, but were the connections on the battery good and tight when you took them off. I had a loose positive cable on my '03 that gave me symptoms of a dying battery. It didn't seem loose enough to be an issue until i took a wrench to it and got a good 1/4-1/2 turn out of it. Tightened it up, topped it off with a charge and it worked fine for years. Idling with fans or heaters on for long periods drains the shite out of them too, cuz there's really no charging going on until you get a bit above idle. [/QUOTE]
