Took my '63 out for a run today. It's cold and raining but I needed to do some test runs to make sure she's roadworthy for a 70 mile one way trip. I'd previously had the tank out for cleaning but have not driven the car much. It's heading up to the body shop for a makeover.
Drove about 40 miles with 2 stops and all was well. She started each time without issue. I get home, pull it into the driveway and forgot to turn off the lights. I only ran in to take a leak, and change coats. Could not have been more than two minutes. I go out, see the lights on and try to give her a start. Nothing. Dead.
Could it be that I killed the new battery in this two minutes or should I suspect the genny is just not putting out? The 40 mile drive was with lights, wipers and heater on the whole time. I'll do some diagnostics and look into it further but I thought this was odd.
Any thoughts.
