RE: [DML] power drains....



David, 
Did I say anything about Amp's. I was talking about battery condition and
it's state of charge. 
If you want to test the current / amps condition of the battery the correct
way you need to find someone that has a carbon pile tester. There expensive
so you may have to call around to find someone that has it.

You cannot infer from a simple voltage reading what the ampere
capacity of a battery is. It takes a load test to determine that. Most
places will do it for free in the hopes of selling you a battery. If
you let a new battery go completly dead several times you may have
killed it. Lead-Acid batteries do not take kindly to being completely
discharged.
Pull all of the fuses. Put an ammeter in series with the battery.
Install the fuses one-at-a-time and watch the ammeter. When it jumps
up you will know which circuit is the problem. A battery Master Switch
is also useful.
