key-off current drain...

[jick.cejoco]

what is the typical current drain sa battery on a key-off condition (carb type)? napansin ko kasi ang battery ko na drain nung di ko ginamit ang sasakyan ng 1 week. pag-start ko ayaw mag crank. nung pina-check ko battery naubos ang karga. more than a year na battery ko. nung pina-recharge ko, ok na uli ang battery. kaya ang ginagawa ko na lang kung di ko gamit ang sasakyan ay inaalis ko ang battery terminal. nawawala lang ang memory ng radio at ng clock.

typical parasitic drain varies from car to car. parasitic drains come from etr (electronic tuned radio), the clock, the pcm keep alive memory, bcm keep alive memory and alarm or security systems. typically, with all the parasitic drain, most cars have up to 20 milliamps of drain tolerable. as long as the battery size ( reserve capacity) is adequate or what is prescribed for your car, it should be fine up to a month without the need to jumpstart or recharge the battery
