The other day, drove car to a friends and after a few hours went to go home and wouldn't start (Just got the click-click-click). Tried to jump it but still nothing. Came back in morning and started right up. Drove around a bit, and later that evening had the same thing happen (but just one click). Figured either battery or starter, put in new battery last night. Started fine, drove to town and back, started fine each time. This morning, pulled car out of garage, a little hesitation but started. Then tried to start 10 min later and doesn't even click. Voltage on the new battery measures about 12.54 this morning. Do I have a parasitic draw, or something else going on?
