Hi all, been having a time with my new build. Brand new AGM battery from Autozone. When on one of my regular maintainers, it does not have enough poop to start. But 3 or 4 minutes on my old 5 amp charger, and she fires right up. Checked parasitic draw yesterday. With meter connected between the disconnected positive lead, to ground, I get about 4.5 milli amps, and quickly drops down to .2 or so, kinda like it's charging up a capacitor or something? Anywho, left it disconnected last night, and battery on maintainer. Today went out, hooked it up, and no start. Another quick kick from my small charger, and off she went. Did a little research and found that "some" AGM batteries are sensitive to what type of charger you use.

Ordered one of these, we'll see if it makes a difference.
