JD, We bought a few of those Battery maintainers from Harbor Freight, a few years ago and use them on various equipment around here. Last week we lost power and had one on the OC 46 crawler battery,(all winter in fact) and went to start the crawler up. Had a dead battery,we swapped it out with the one in the Dodge truck and it started. Now for the question, When we lost power and had the generator going,but the circuit to the maintainer was disconnected, could the battery have reversed and started feeding the electrical circuits in the garage and drained the juice from the battery? We tested the maintainer and it works according to the meter. We put the dozer battery n our big charger and it charged back down to zero,but haven't checked it for amperage yet.So we may have a battery with voltage but no amperage. That is what we are thinking atleast. Have you run across anything like that before? Any help would be appreciated. Regards, LOU
