Volks, Just got the van out of the shop for Stereo install. Trouble shooting what appears to be some overnight battery drain. My question ..... what would be a normal overnight voltage drop? The first night I lost over 5 volts overnight. Yesterday I isolated all the stereo components and fully recharged the battery. Reading before going to bed ... = 12.5 volts Reading this morning = 11.49 volts So seem there was a voltage drop of approx 1 volt overnight. Is this normal? As far as I know there should not be anything drawing current other than a little "In Panel" digital volt gauge. Hitting the Trail Soon ... OR IS HE!
