Re: battery drain
sounds like he might have a stuck soleniod, next time it does this take cover off box and if its the soleniod try tapping it lightly see if it quits..............the only other thing in there is the voltage regulator and i never heard one of them buzzing........................................... ........

Re: battery drain
before i even got to his house the neighbordecided to check his batt water-none in one cell. we think it is time for a new one as this one is an o2 model.
hope that will fix it. the solenoid works fine..thx. jim |

Re: battery drain
you could try adding water and charging before he buys a new batt. Also, when you get it going, put a volt meter on it. It could be charging way high (bad regulator) and boiling the water out of the battery. It should be about 14.5 (give or take a half volt or so) when running wide open (in maintenance mode). If your seeing 16 volts or more, it's going to kill the batt. You need a voltage regulator.
