Hey

Anyone know how much current(amperage) a relay draws when it is energized?

Thanks

A standard Bosch SPDT relay.

I should refine my question. I read in the relay basics that a relay draws less than 200ma. Is that enough to draw a battery down overnight enough to make the starter crank sluggishly in the morning?
