I would suggest then that you may have a defective back up battery. It is only intended to serve as a backup until one can get the main battery recharged within a reasonable amount of time. Once the main battery is removed or is discharged from use it is only reasonable to assume a far more rapid drain on the backup battery.

I would consider a new back up battery and get it into your Ax to avoid potential problems. Will the Ax turn on and run with the main battery out as long as the back up battery is in place? I would hope not. There should be an interlock that prevents that... otherwise if the Ax turned on while the main battery were out the backup would be drained in very short order... minutes.

Curious... good find. Design flaw... maybe... perhaps more to it than that.

Ciao,

Ron
