Need some help from the experts. I have had the troll for a couple of months now. Started up perfect when I got it. Now it sounds like the battery is going flat. Checked it with the multi meter and it is at 12.8v. Checked it when running and sits at about 14v so it is getting charged. Nothing has been added like lights or anything that might be drawing on it. Any ideas what I can check or do to fix?

hi covo71 .
check your battery connections and also the connections to the starter motor and any earth connections to the body and motor . if they are dirty , loose or corroded they can cause the symptoms you have mentioned . good luck . ray .

Thanks ray, checked all except the starter motor as they look like a pain to get undone and get to.
