My car can easily stand two weeks off with no starting issues.

A quick update. After doing multiple checks and tests I have found that by removing fuse 3 from inside the cabin fuses (the cigar lighter fuse) the resting current drain drops to 0.082 both with the car locked and alarmed and unlocked.
With the fuse replaced I get a reading of 0.183 now I have a fuel burning heater that is activated by a text message and the unit that controls this gets it's supply from fuse 3. Has anyone done a drain test on a Diesel and does 0.08ish look about right? Cheers, Dave |

The current consumption drops in stages and the minimum is achieved after about 20 minutes of everything that is under the driver's control being switched off.
I did extensive testing on my CDT about 2 years ago and published the results on here. You should be able to search and find my post. It gives time vs actual current readings which were in accordance with the spec. In fact, here you go. https://the75andztclub.co.uk/forum/s....php?p=2901137

Cheers Simon, I've got a few weeks before I go so I will keep my eye on it plus it's a decent drive to the airport so that should put plenty back into the battery. Dave

Someone rescued me with a drained bike battery using one last year. Some better/ bigger than others. Currently Aldi are doing one for cheaps. I keep meaning to get one. -A (Edit - my motorbike battery was drained and I was rescued using a powerpack - my description above is a bit ambiguous) Last edited by alan richard; 19th March 2024 at 12:30.. |
