2015 battery keeps dying

[Buc0727]

Can I swap out terminals with any other kind

How many times has it died? Is it the same battery or has it been replaced?

If the battery keeps dying, you need to find out if you have a short circuit somewhere. Find a friend with a digital multimeter and go to an electronics store and buy a 20 ohm resistor. Remove the positive battery cable and touch the resistor to the cable and the terminal and read the voltage. In electricity, V = I R, where V = Voltge, R = resistance (you can read the value with the meter. it will NOT be as marked), and I = current.. So, current = V divided by R. If there is not a short, you should have some small current ... on the order of less then 0.100 A or so. If you see more than that, you have a short somewhere. Many cars have a car-off current of .01 to .02 A (10 to 20 mA).

I'd have him read the current directly but, if it exceeds 10 A, it can kill the meter ... and we already suspect a short circuit.

If you have a short, it is a matter of troubleshooting it. Since you are asking in here, I am assuming you do not want to troubleshoot it. If in warranty, have the dealer look at it. If not, your call.

If you don't have a short, you have had a succession of weak batteries.
