EPS module drains the battery

[Chief007]

Hi everyone....my 2020 venture tf module drains my battery during summer ( forgot to disconnect the battery ).... is it normal ??? or something wrong with the module.This is my first yamaha with eps,thanks.

EPS should have nothing to do with this. If they key is off, the EPS is off. You may have some other parasitic drain, but for the most part, if the ignition is off, nothing should be draining.

Most of us will top a battery prior to storage and let it be for the winter. A battery tender is an option. But I have just gotten in the habit of putting a charge on before and just after storage, and gotten many years out of the stock battery.

My 2012 just got a fresh battery this past season, and was running the factory battery till then with this way of storing.

Good luck

normal on any fuel injected sled. both my apex's, brothers rs venture gt, other brothers apex mtx and last brothers phazer rtx/x all draw down the battery if left unattended for over 2-3 months.
