2002 gas battery went dead
I recently had new brushes put in my 2002 gas Ds. I put in a new battery and took it for w long drive. I stopped for a minute and went to go again and the battery was dead. Any ideas what would drain the battery so fast? I just replaced solenoid and a micro switch to. Thanks

I am going to look into voltage regulator tomorrow but just curious what would draw the battery down that fast? 20 min. Ride seems like it drained the battery.

It may, but I have been told that if regulator is bad it could burn up you starter.

Re: 2002 gas battery went dead
Seems to be fine now. Must have drained the battery when the voltage reg. went out. Tested with a volt meter before I put in regulator and it was not charging at all.
