How much battery does it take to run the gryphon programmer and a USB port to charge an iPhone.. Sat in the truck for 17 mins then it wouldn't turn over... Did this on Halloween right after I got programmer. Any suggestions?

 

How old is your battery? An older battery won't have the same charge capacity as a newer one.

 

mine seems to die pretty easy as well. not to long after playing music that isnt up very high she will not turn over have to restart her every 25 mins or so just to make sure she keeps a charge

 

Time to replace battary. The colder weather kills them

 

What BobKyle said !!!

 

Having it tested today. It starts fine in 31f weather lol, just unno lol. It's ac"ever start" I think that's the problem.

 

I have two batteries in my truck. Just recently had to change out the main because the cold weather killed it. I also installed a trickle charger that I plug in every night because I have a laptop and gps system that has to be on 24/7. Before the cold weather hit, I was able to go about 12 hours without my batteries going dead running the inverter all night. I would have your battery checked first, then if you have to purchase a new one, make sure to get one with the most cold cranking amps that will fit on your truck.

 

Sounds like a couple of the battery's cells have failed. If left alone it starts but won't if there has been even a slight draw, I would have it load tested. Many parts retailers will do it for free.

 

Yea I am this evening after work. What's the biggest battery my 04xlt 4.6l can hold?
