    Does anyone know the coating Dynamax / Freightliner puts on the electrical connections? Seems to work great and never corrode. Looks maybe just primer? —john

    Electrical system storage for 176SE

    With my 2021 176SE, the batteries have drained to 1.5V after just a few months of outside storage. My battery guys say there has to be a drain for that to happen. What are the proper steps to take with the electrical system for winter storage?
