Battery faillure

[Nitroya]

2nd battery dying on me now, I have 2 Nytro s one of them reads very low resistance off the main power leads when disconnected from battery.

One of my nytro as 130 ohms (the good one). The other reads about 10 ohms. THis reading is off the disconnected power leads. As anyone heard of electrical device failures besides wires rubbing off tight corners on frame then shorting to ground.

I m never burning fuses, but my battery goes dead. to zero volts after sitting for a day or two.

Sounds like a bum battery.

Sounds like parasitic drain. 10 ohms is quite a lot and definitely will kill your battery. You need to determine what's draining the battery. The best way is using your multimeter in ohms and start disconnecting leads until you see the resistance drop off. If you recharge battery and your meter can read in dc amps. You could connect battery back to ground and put your meter in series with battery positive and the positive connector and watch how much amps your drawing and start disconnecting wire connectors/relays, etc. to try and isolate where the drain is coming from. I'm assuming the battery is new and has been load tested to ensure you just don't have a bad or shorted battery cell.

Good luck

Might want to check your relays.
