I'm glad others have this same problem. I have the powerpole pro series II and they will drain my battery within a week or so maybe two weeks. I've taken the fusee out of the poles to see if that was the problem and the battery will stay charged for a long period of time. Batteries, boat, and poles are are 2013 and came installed from the factory. Going to put a power switch on them ASAP. Not sure what draws so much power with them. They do have the blinking green lights but that can't draw much. No knock on the powerpoles here though. They are amazing and have helped me tremendously.

The drain problem is with all Poles that have C-Monster on them. It isnt the light that drains the battery but the C-monster software looking for a blue tooth signal that drains the battery. Adding a switch or a breaker is a good idea because you can disable the punps while traveling. There is also a APP for andriod phones where you can update the pumps software to fix the battery draining issue. We have started doing this on every pole we install.
