Just to add ...everything stock except Blackvue camera & Power Magic, both abt 1 yr old. Possible Power Magic deteriorate & drain battery. PML checking now.

If going back pml, you should take out the cam and power magic. Once they see those, they will surly blame these poor equipments.

My sent my car into pml once for the battery cable recall works. Upon collection, they commented that there is a cam in the car and it will affect the battery.
Called the SA over and ask them what BS are they saying, my cam is connected to the cig lighter plug, only when the car is on then the cam activate, how would it affect the battery? If so, wouldnt charging my hp using the same plug affect my battery too?
Some ws just have tones of BS to serve.

Vansoh, cannot remove power magic cos it's hidden somewhere during installation. Anyway PML now said they will change the Negative cable. Hopefully this solves the mystery.

Re: 1 yr old Battery drained?

PML said my negative battery terminal has high resistance r, so battery drained. Logical cos: V = E - Ir.
Wonder if the cause could be due to:
A) engine bay wash done 3 weeks ago after my 2nd service at new Alexandra PML Service ?
b) poor contact at negative terminal
C) inferior negative cable from factory
I don't stay at Sentosa, so cannot be due to salt content from sea wind?

Do you need to pay for the neg cable?
