One of our Can Am Defenders has been giving us issues for several months now. It is the oldest and most used Can Am we have with over 1000 miles on it. A few months ago, we started get a fault code when we tried to start the engine. Forums said it was a battery issue so I just replaced the battery two weeks ago. Went to start it yesterday and it was completely dead. Jumped it and let it sit on a charger, but it was only running at 13.5 volts with a weak start. Did a parasite test on it today to see if any of our aftermarket items were drawing power with no luck. Any ideas on what to do next? It seems the battery dies every week and we can't figure out what could be draining it. After market items on the Can Am include; winch, lift bed, and light bar.

Do you have a Bluetooth soundbar by chance? I do and have to keep my ‘19 Defender hd10 xt on a battery tender to prevent battery drainage.
