How long does it take hazard lights to kill a vehicle's battery?
The vehicle in question is this one:
http://www.halshydraulics.com/sites/...ulldozer03.jpg Last night I came home from work around 5 PM and noticed that one of the two Cats they're using for the gas main project in my neighborhood had its hazard lights flashing. I tried the crew chief's cell phone, but it's his work cell, and I guess he doesn't answer it after hours. I knew from previous conversations that they are done at 3:30. Later, around 9:30, when SWMBO and I were walking the dogs, we walked past the Cat and I decided to try the door. It wasn't locked, so I climbed in and turned the hazard lights off. The best I can guess is that they were on for about 6 hours. When I left for work this morning, both Cats were gone, so either they jumped one with the other or the battery was fine. Anybody know how long the battery in a Cat like that would last with the hazard lights on? |
