   Hello everyone,

I recently changed batteries in my 1760 because I was having a problem where I would unplug my camper and the next morning the battery would be completely dead. Currently I just have the positive and negative from the camper connected and it's drawing one amp. My new battery is a 12 volt reading 13.2 and it died completely within a day. I'm using a naco genius 10 lithium battery charger and I'm totally confused. Please help.

	That was happening to me and my charge controller was bad.

	1 amp is an excessive draw if everything is turned off. Normal idle draw "should" be just a hundred milliamps or so. I would turn things off to see where the big draw is coming from.

	+1 with GG analysis! Get your voltmeter or multi tester out. Something big is drawing off a lot of juice. Better keep your battery on charge so it doesn't get damaged in the meantime. Possibly a problem with the brake wires shorting out/damaged by drum or emergency brake cable pulled out of harness?
