Battery Drain???

[blkbrd]

Has anyone attempted to measure a possible battery drain when security system and nearly all other electrical devises are not running, maybe an exception for the clock and computer chip??? What was the drain, if any? I am considering making such a measurement on my 05 bird.

[Gobird]

Re: Battery Drain???

I don't think anyone has done that over the years. It can't be much. I still have my original battery in my Bird and it just turned 6 yrs old in Jan. I know one day I'll go into the garage and it will be dead so I'm ready to get a new one whenever that happens.

Re: Battery Drain???

Same here Gobird, ours will be 7 years old in June. We took delivery in October, but car was built in June 01. I figure one day I'll come out and it will be dead. If its still ticking by the time Desert Thunder II rolls around I will just go ahead and replace it.

I have made this measurement on my 04--the drain is about 130 miliamps, this is after you let the electrical system alone for approx 20 minutes ie don't switch anything on or off or open or close any doors. After 20 minutes of inactivty the power relays in the trunk time out or turnoff, before then the draw .65 amp.
hope this helps

Re: Battery Drain???

Harry, I hope you meant to say that "after then the draw is .65 amp." If so, then the Bird seems to be doing what it was designed to do. Thanks, Ira

Ira--
Before the relays turn off the draw is .65 amp or 650 miliamps--after they turn off, the draw is reduced to 130 miliamps

Re: Battery Drain???

I do believe this must be the problem with the batteries going down when not driven too much. 130 milamps seems like a lot to me. The Battery Minder, Tender, Maintainer appears to be the fix. Thanks, Ira

Re: Battery Drain???

I put my '04 in storage from November to April, 5 full months. I put a trickle charger on it in January and it had lost some charge as the charger kicked in for a few days, but the trunk popped with no problem. I was afraid of an overcharge so I disconnected it in February and reconnected it near the end of March about a week before I took it out April 1st. When I turned the key it started right up without hesitation and everything worked, window drop, tranny shifts, and radio stations which I would have lost if I removed the battery. (I bought a self monitoring charger for next year) From my experience you can store them for at least two months without incident.

Ira--Th battery tender can't hurt but 130 ma is very low. The T-bird battery must have at least a 400 ampere hour rating which means a fully charged battery could theoretically provide 400 amps for one hour. With a 130 ma draw, it would take approx 7.7 hours to dicscharge one amp or over 3000 hours to fully discharge at that current draw--you could theoretically store the car for over 100 days and still have power available. Of course, this all depends on battery age, condition, temperature, state of charge etc. Bottom line, a clean battery, in reasonably good condition should easily last a month or probably two in storage as per MERlot 07 post above. Mine has sat for as long as a month and started with no problems.
Also, if you drive it infrequently, I suggest that when you start it that you drive it or run it for 45 -50 minutes under good charging conditions i.e. a nice highway run with minimal heavy electrical loads -this is to make sure you recharge what it took out to start-up plus what you lost just sitting.

Re: Battery Drain???

Harry, This info is exactly what I was looking for. The Birds that I have in mind sit for two to three months and then driven for short distances -- not enough to adequately charge the battery. I have purchased a BatteryMinder Plus (12V, 1.33a) and intend to hook it up every two or three weeks and leave it hooked up for about a week when the bird is not being driven much. By the way, I ordered the BatteryMinder Plus over the internet from Pacific Battery Systems. When I received it, I found it to be a top notch quality piece of equipment. Thanks, Ira
