It was not Speedqueens best day.

I had to be in town at 7:45AM. The temp dropped down to -12F lastnight, so put Speedqueen on the trickle charger overnight.
It would not start in the AM, so I jumped it and drove the 75 miles to town. It start for about an hour and a half, and the battery was even deader. Called road service for a jump, dumped in a new battery, hopefully that was the issue.

My amp meter is not working, so I cannot tell what the drain is on the battery. Anyone know what it should be?

It is a long way to the dealer. 300 miles, so I am hoping it was just a battery. From the vin number it seems to have sat on a dealer lot for quite a while and the battery seemed weak to me.
