Hi all

  

 Got a problem with my Odyssey 680 battery. It will not keep a charge. I am wired per Z13/8. Master and Endurance switches off. 

 At first I thought the trickle from the Dynon 100 was the problem so I pulled the trickle fuse from the battery bus. No joy!! so i pulled the fuse for the Dynon D100....No Joy. Pulled the main alternator CB...still no joy. Pulled the the Aux (SD8 self excitation) alternator CB ..again no joy. I have checked all the various circuits on the  fuse block (endurance/main) for any stray energy loss.

 My last idea is to charge the battery up again. Pull the ground from the battery. Let it set a few days. Put the ground back on and check to see if it has lost amps..........If this is the case I would say I have a bad cell or two in the battery. 

  

 Any other ideas out there would be appreciated!

   You've already done most of what I would suggest. I suspect

   the final experiment of leaving it disconnected for a few

   days will not yield a happily useful result . . . I'm betting

   the battery has some problems.



   I'm presuming that you KNOW the bus voltage in flight is

   such that you can EXPECT the battery to be fully charged

   when you park the airplane(?).
