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!
