My iTechworld battery is self-dischargingUpdated 3 months ago

An iTechworld battery cannot self-discharge over a short period unless a load is applied. To test your battery, please follow the instructions below:

1. Remove the battery from its current installation.

2. Disconnect all loads from this battery. Ensure there is nothing connected to your battery. 

3. Connect a charger and charge the battery to a voltage between 13.3 - 13.5V. 

4. Disconnect the charger and measure the voltage after 5 minutes. This value is your resting voltage.

5. Completely isolate the battery and measure the voltage after 24 hours. 

6. Measure the voltage again after another 24 hours and compare your results. If the voltages are the same on each reading, that points to a parasitic load somewhere in your installation that is drawing power from your batteries.
