battery being drained what can i do?

I meant the 45 mA total doesn't sound bad- what kind of draw did Autopage say the alarm should have?My ex once told me I have a perfect face for radio.

I think the problem is the battery. I swapped batteries with my Dad and ever since I did I can check even after 48 hours and it still reads 12.4, doesn't drop like it was doing with my battery in the car. Mine would drop to around 11.8 after 48 hours of sitting. Now the problem I face, Advance Auto probably won't give me another one, since it doesn't completely DIE, just slowly fades away. It must be a cell going bad, just not completely gone bad yet. It's only a little over a year old and it's the best line they sell. Any advice?'85 Toy

I'd take it back and explain the situation.  Tell them the kind of problem you're having, and what you've tried so far to identify the battery as the culprit.My ex once told me I have a perfect face for radio.

call around and see if any shops in your area have a digital( good quality) battery tester, it will show the battery fault, then take it to them and bring the battery and the bill to your parts supplier...good luck

Yeah, 45mA isn't that bad. If your battery is going dead in short period of time off of that then your battery is going bad.Certified Security Specialist

Always check info with a digital multimeter.

I promise to be good.

Tell Darwin I sent you.

I've been sick lately, sorry I won't be on much.

Just wondering, will vinegar finish off a weak battery?'85 Toy

If not, what will?'85 Toy

They charged it up for 2 hours, then ran some type of tests on it and it came up "good". I tried to explain how I had been checking it compared to the other battery I was using and the difference in the volts after it sits for a few days, but they just want to go by that machine.'85 Toy
