Now, first I connected the battery with ampere meter in series as suggested. Idle drain current found was 0.15A which gives 13.88 days life for my 50AH battery. | |

I am thinking of putting my Multimeter (in 10A mode) in series of -ve terminal of battery. How much drain current is normal when car parked? EDIT: battery is just about 15 months old Amaron make. | |
