Sounds about right Posted by Ari [Email] ![]() ![]() In Reply to: battery drain test - some questions...., Smeter, Fri, 6 Mar 2009 14:40:04 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
When you first hook up the meter, it probably jumps up to "1" or "2" - one or two amps, about what you'd expect from the dome light, etc. After 30 seconds or so, it'll drop down to .02 or so.
Yeah, it sounds like about 30 milliamps, and not a current drain issue.
Lots and lots of 'my battery goes dead' questions flow through the board. I think I can only remember a few where it was an actual drain, and only two where it wasn't the trunk light left one. Almost every time, it's a bad battery or a charging issue.
But it's always nice to check.
