So I tapped into the gray wire (pin 18) of the Nav DVD connector to get the +12V for the NAVIKS. Charged the battery overnight to full voltage and thought everything would be OK. To my surprise, the battery went dead again. I bough this Interstate battery just two weeks ago at Costco, so I brought it back and exchanged for another one. Now everything is OK as should be.
It turned out the battery was defective.

most batteries fail from plate warpage. Shorts the cells out.
agm batteries plates are mounted in a solid material. Hard we to warp
east penn changed their plate mounting system several years ago and now can also pre charge the internal plates and is able to now test them prior to installation in the case.
i was in the fancy Rv biz for 32 years and a remote area user so the best engineering and quality is necessary.
mk/deka from east penn are acknowledged to have less failures and have a longer cycle life.
seems the largest auto parts place is my local source for the deka/east penn batteries under the Bosch brand.
smart of them. $120 range for a sealed lead acid. $150 for Agm.
My other engines all have mil grade optima spiral wound red tops for starting.
unfortunstely optima does not make a h6 group 48 battery.
and east penn does not make a gel that size
probably because the charging voltage is different for a gel. And was made to be run down to 50% and then back to 100%
not a car use.
