We have a van with a Braun Vangater II lift. These lifts put a significant strain on the battery.

We often have used the lift without the van running, which really puts a strain on the battery.

We bought our used van in February 2015. We installed a new battery in April 2015 just to make sure we would not have any problems.

Last week we went to start the van and found that the battery was drained. Testing revealed the battery was not just drained, but was bad.

The battery was less than 8 months old and had a 3 year warranty. It was replaced under warranty, but was a hassle to get it replaced.

Here is a reminder to keep an eye on your battery and replace it before it becomes a problem.
