So I came out to the car this morning to a flat battery, first time it's ever happened. Jump stated the car and ran fine, alternator over 14.3v and it charged up on the way to work, I removed the battery and did a battery test, battery very good with all cells fine, then fully charged with ctek charger and reconnected, then with an amp clamp did a battery draw test, found when locked 0.3a for a few mins then 0.1a when asleep. thought this was high so messed with the fbh remove relay I have fitted and found a bad connection, fix this and the draw dropped to between 0.07 and 0.08 amps. Is this classed as a high current draw or okay.

Personally I thought anything under 0.1 amp is acceptable

Thanks in advance for any replys
