I don't know too much about batteries - but mine also has this slow parasitic drain. The PO had a brand new battery in the van, and he had to replace it on (1 year) warranty. I wonder/worry that a slow parasitic drain is not good for the health/life of a battery. Must get my hands on a decent multimeter so I can chase this down. Tom |
