Avant Guard 5.5 Draining Battery?
 

Anyone else have one of these and have any issues with battery drain?

nope!

What car u got mate, how often do u use it, a fully loaded system uses very little battery drain, u can have a drop test done, using a volt meter, I have been fitting them for years and only ever had 1 cause a battery drain, when did u have system fitted and by who?

how old is the alarm, the batteries are just rechargeable and like the ones you use in remotes and toys, they only hold the charge so many times, so it may be that these need replacing, trackers do this a lot.

Newbie he is on about the cars battery mate, not the fob ones

Yes car battery mate. Car is 02 sti. Use it everyday. I just wondered if it was a problem as the alarm has so many features running.
Was fitted by previous owner.

I'll get a drain test done.

Cheers.

Has it got a window closure fitted

Yes I believe it has but haven't tried it or the start up thing.

Try removing fuse for window closure see if drian drops

Okay it is used every day but what mileage are you doing? As you need to be doing about 20 miles to re-charge the battery. If I don't take my bug for a drive every 10 days(ish) I need to charge the battery. Usually try to give it a 50 mile run each weekend work allowing.

About 3 miles a day mate. I do always try to have a run at the weekend. It's going in to Subaru within the next week or two so I'll get them to check it. Tracker will be unplugged and I now make sure I have side lights on at all times. Every little helps I guess :)
