Some Lincoln LS owners report experiencing persistent battery draining issues even after installing a new alternator. These problems may arise from a faulty alternator that fails to charge the battery adequately, despite being newly installed. Additionally, some owners encounter parasitic draws, where certain components continue to consume power when the vehicle is off, contributing to battery drain. Engine problems can also play a role, as underlying issues within the engine can disrupt power generation and distribution. It is crucial for owners to test both the alternator and battery under load conditions to ensure proper functionality, as simple voltage checks may not reveal performance issues. If a 1A drain persists after checking all fuses, the alternator may be identified as a significant source of power drain, as it, along with the starter, is not fused. To resolve these battery draining concerns, thorough investigation of these potential causes is recommended.
