I had a battery prematurely fail, I was running a 200 watt Palomar, does anybody know if this could have done this, or I just got a bad battery

Hi,

Not sure if your mobile or base, I used to run a 150 Zetagi mobile Amp on a car Battery running with a trickle charge on the Battery all the time when using Amp, lasted me for a few years, if your mobile might be a problem with your Alternator.

I bought a Mains Amp after suffering sore throats with what I guess was the fumes from the Battery.

this is a regular car battery?

Standard car batteries cant tolerate a deep discharge.
It causes sulfer buildup on the lead plates.
Other things cause the sulfer buildup, such as low fluid level, called electrolyte.
Batteries which are deep discharged will usually be initially over-charged by the alternator.
Also make sure the battery terminals arent corroded.

how old is the battery?
you alternator? bad connections?

if the alternator cant charge the battery it will die..
maybe somethng else draining the battery when the vehicle is off?

a 200w palomar is not going to kil your battery unless the vehicle is off..

we need more info..

    Incoming Region Produces X3 Solar Flare
    May 15, 2024 @ 14:55 UTC
    Another major solar flare, but this time from an active region just beginning to turn into view off the east limb. It is possible that the group responsible is old AR 3654 from the previous rotation. The latest flare, an X2.99 event just peaked at 14:38 UTC (May 15). Stay tuned
