technically, yes this is my 3rd lol.
I know what you are saying but I think I cooked the other two myself, no one else has these issues. Actually this is my 4th
I had the original one that came with the AMS kit, that one died pretty quick sitting in my garage through winter. So I bought another which never actually died, fully, but shows the same symptoms of my current battery. I left that one on my trickle charger through winter in my basement, same as I did with my current battery and they worked but not great and had trouble starting so I bought my current problem one last spring after the car was struggling to start. So I am guessing the last two were worn down my my trickle charger not working right.
I know A LOT of evo guys that run this PC680 that never seem to have issues like I do, so I was just assuming improper storage and charging on my end here.
I was going to buy a lithium one but didn't want to shell out that much. But
you are right if the cause of those batteries failing wasn't by me or my charger, then I am throwing money away. But the symptoms of the batteries and my process pointed towards me being the culprit aka user error.
If this one bites the dust I will sack up next year and buy a lithium one. But I just feel like it was my storage of the battery that killed it.
