 Gen 2 36 prodrive electrical issues Went to fire up the prodrive the other day to find the battery flat dead and when i put the charger on it said the battery was bad  which is weird since i replaced it teal opener when it was dead after the hunt, which i thought had been from it sitting in the rain all morning. Guess its something else, the stater is starting to get a little reluctant as well but i dont think thats draining the battery. Maybe the voltage regulator? Anyone else have a similar issue?

Re: Gen 2 36 prodrive electrical issues I agree. New batteries being bad aren't out of the norm. Starter was probably dragging due to the battery

Re: Gen 2 36 prodrive electrical issues Also, make sure all the connections and ground wires are tight and not corroded.
They can give you fits and make you think you've got a bigger problem than you actually do

Re: Gen 2 36 prodrive electrical issues Glad you got it straight.
I would still check all connections anyways. Just regular maintenance.
