How do you measure current flow from the battery if you suspect that you have a current draw after everything is off. I removed the ground cable from the battery and then touched it to the post and got a little spark, and how much current draw is aloud. The battery goes dead after all night on occasion.
Thank you
Sean

Thank you for the fast reply, it helped. We need a new battery. The amp draw was only 6.75 mili-amp after the system went to sleep. You guys are awesome! Its close to 6 years old.
