Occasional dead battery

[Mike E]

My 2002 Viper will occasionally drain down the battery. Sometimes it sits for weeks and no problem. I took it out last week, it started fine, Went to take it out yesterday and the battery was dead. Recharge and its fine. It is a new battery. This has happened 3-4 time this season. Suggestions?? Shorted wire somewhere???

Thanks
Mike

Just a silly question but do you turn the sled off with the key or the kill switch?
If you use the kill switch and leave the key in the on position you will kill the battery.
Done it a few times myself.

No I didn't use the "kill" switch. It just seems to drain the battery when "it" wants to.
