Re: Who uses their SVX for primary daily driving?
Carport queen, but I try to drive it to town, a 30 mile round trip, every 7- 10 days to keep the battery charged - unless it snows. I never put it on salted roads. But, I've had a battery problem with this car for many years. I seem to go through the things much faster than any other vehicle . I've had it checked for a parasitic drain a few times, the alternator puts out just fine, but nothing amiss ever shows up. I have a "decent" Autozone battery in right now that will 90% die after sitting for 10 days, especially in cold weather. Yeah, I know a tender would do the trick, but 4 other cars in this driveway never fail, so why the batmobile?
