battery discharges in a week

Post by richardwcole »

I have a CS 22 2020 and the battery discharges in ~ 1 week. The dealer says this is normal and recommends turning the battery off. Is this normal? I have never had this issue with other boat I have owned.

I’m not sure as I always turn my battery switch to off when I leave my boat. Your automatic bilge pump is wired directly though - do you see it running or do you see evidence of water in the bilge?

No water in bilge, I am just shocked that I there is that much draw on the battery with everything off. The boat was covered so there should not have been that much water getting in.

Yea that seems fast but most of the new boat owners here turn the batteries off. The new stuff stay active and can take it down. A week yea could be fast. I Would at least like a draw test performed. Disconnect the garmins. Draw goes away is normal or bad garmins.
