Some Chevrolet Trax owners report experiencing daily battery drainage issues despite having a new battery. These problems may stem from a parasitic power draw, where components like interior lights or malfunctioning systems continue to drain power even when the vehicle is off. Additionally, some owners find that a faulty alternator fails to charge the battery properly while driving, contributing to the issue. Improper battery testing can also lead to undetected problems, as it's crucial to use a load tester for accurate performance assessments. Extreme temperature exposure can further impact battery performance, while using an incorrect or incompatible battery can exacerbate drainage issues. To resolve these concerns, it is advisable for owners to have their vehicle inspected by a qualified mechanic to pinpoint and address the underlying cause of the battery drainage.
