I go to the "farm" to work on some older buildings and haul many tools. I know I have a battery "Saver" feature and the lights do shut off at the end of the 20 minutes (if you don't open another door during the cycle.) However, if I open another door (other one still open) The timer starts over again thus using 20 more minutes of power (2 dome lights and 2 puddle lights). I carry a generator with a 12v and ac hookups (thank god) and use it to charge my battery. I have had the battery tested at my Ford (carried it in) also at Interstate battery (load tested) and both say the battery is good. Any suggestions?? I'm still thinking battery (original) Works OK for "normal" day to day operation?? I don't understand how those few lights could draw enough power to consistently "kill" my battery. HELP!!!!!!!
