Interesting that this is the case, but I suppose not entirely surprising. My truck sits for extended periods (especially in the summer when I drive my "summer only" car) and I finally had the battery drain to the point where it wouldn't start the other day. A quick jump and I was back on the road though.
My truck sits outside year round though so a battery tender isn't as good an option for me (especially so when it's parked on the street).
I guess I'll probably start unplugging the gyphon now to keep this from happening again. I also decided that the auto headlights (they come on when you unlock the truck when on that setting) are probably not helping either so I flipped those off.
Hopefully those will do the trick, but I'm tempted to get a new battery before winter anyway. I hear the DieHard Platinum are top of the line. Anyone here have opinions?
