In Reply to: Dead Battery, AGAIN!! posted by Rich M on June 04, 2000 at 20:42:23:

: I've posted a similar problem back last Thanksgiving, anyway, again I have a dead battery. I admit I don't drive my baby too often but come on! The last time, I replaced the battery and everything was ok for until now. The car was not driven for about 3 weeks and no extras were on, ie the alarm system. Any thoughts??

Get a good digital multimeter and set it to amps, not milliamps. Disconnect negative lead and hook up the meter. Drain should be .02 to .03 amps with or without the alarm on. Limit is .04. If all is fine I recommend the Battery Tender or something just like it.
