Re: Battery going dead
Most stereo clocks and all CO alarms draw power in the mili-amp range and would take momths to discharge a battery in good condition, but the LP alarm would do so if it is one that has a gas shut-off valve because the valves draw power to stay open. The easiest way to see if there is some phantom load that is doing this, just lift the negative cable from the post when you get back and monitor the voltage of the battery. If the voltage changes less than .5V in the two weeks, you have found the problem. The next thing is to locate the cause.
