Default BATTERY ISSUE SOLVED!

Many here have had issues with the battery going dead. Sometimes it would happen over a period of a few days, sometimes overnight etc.. Hummer's idea was to replace the battery, sometimes more than once. Some have even replaced the factory battery with an Optima only to have it also go dead. I personally replaced two factory battery's, purchased a Red Top and it went dead then bought a Yellow Top and had it go dead also. Know way could I have gotten four bad batterys. I ran every test known ( yes I made sure the factory clamps were TIGHT!) and couldn't find the problem. A few days ago I replaced the factory cable terminal clamps with a set of high quality Monster Cable terminal clamps and solved the problem. With the factory clamps there was a constant voltage drain that would drop a fully charged battery from 12.6 volts to 11.0 volts in two days. Now it has stayed at 12.6 volts over the last three days.
