Maverick X3 battery keeps draining.

Common questions

Does a new battery fix this?

Only if the battery is the actual failure. If the machine is not charging or has a draw, a new battery will die too.

What detail matters most?

Whether it dies while riding, after sitting overnight, or after sitting for weeks.
