Discharging Battery Pat Nowicki 10-12-04  
I have a 32ft 2004 Winnebago Brave, class A motorhome. When I came home I had a new chassis battery that was 100% charged. I opened one slide twice and another slide once. The slides work off of the chassis battery. It then sat in the driveway with absolutely nothing left on and at the end of a week the battery was at 65%. Does this sound normal or could something unbeknowst to me be draining the battery. I have a shut off for the RV batteries but not for the chassis battery. What do you think?

Well, with a new battery, it does sound odd. One of the first things you might want to check is, if you have a draw. Disconnect you positive cable, hook a test light to the cable lug and touch the post on the battery. If it lights, you have a draw. If not, maybe the battery is a defective one.
