- Hemi 5.7 etorq
Took my dead Costco, interstate battery back after 12 mo. I got the larger 900 cca, AGM
battery. In Jan. I replaced the 2 yr. old battery that came in the RAM, Hemi with E-torq.
with the New 850 cca from Costco. The old thread below:
My 2020 Ram 1500 Laramie with E-torq, at 17 K miles must have a
parasitic draw. Had a fail to start this morning battery down to 11.70 volts.
I charged it up and runs good with check engine lite on, as I suspect it
should be on. Doe's anyone have any input??
My son a Master Mech. checked the draw, and it came down in 2 stages.
The final draw came at about 45/50 minutes. He said that was the longest
he had ever saw. But did come within specks.
Checked my new after 2 wks. and it was 12.35 volts this morning, started and
came up to 14.43 and maintain when I turned on heated seats and wheel, lights
and heater fan.
My Grandson, works on Range Rovers, said with all the drain on RAM battery, and
short trips with heated seats, steering wheel and electric motor for steering.
Going on a 10/15 min trip ever day, the battery is not being replenished.
And he tell his RR customers with auto start, to start the vehicle 15/20 min. before
they try to leave home to further charge the battery, if they do a lot of short trips.
I am looking for ANY input, someone else has to be having this problem.
I have checked and ALL I have is an analog, No digital to monitor as I drive.
