So a month ago I replaced my Odyssey PC680 with another one (3 years old and was not holding charge more than a couple days).
New one worked great, driven with it a few times and drove the car around for 40 min last weekend to keep it charged. Normally I should be able to sit around 2 weeks with a PC680.
Anyways I go out to drive today and the battery is totally dead, never had that before. I've had power to stereo, and HID lights, but it wouldn't have enough juice to crank. BUT this time, it was totally dead, turned key and nothing.
Then I noticed a little while later my immobilizer light is very faint red (solid, not blinking). I jiggled the battery cables, everything seems fine. Turned key and nothing. Faint red light went away.
Could this be a fuse? Bad alternator? I guess I'll go buy a battery tender tomorrow and hook it up. I don't think the new battery should be dying in a weeks time which makes me think it could be something else?
Thanks in advance. I tried searching, but not really sure what keywords to try and didn't get any hits earlier.
