Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

If it has any kind of computer with a VRAM (volatile memory) then it takes a little current to keep it going. If there is any kind of clock (digital/analog) that takes juice.

Another thing is the water can be low in it--even maintenance free which really aren't--or the cells can be dying and don't hold the charge long. A cheap tester can tell you the condition--just be careful of the acid and clean the top well before opening. Check the levels while at it.

Lastly--there could be a slight short somewhere and it is slowly discharging.
