I had a dead battery in my car yesterday, I jumped it and went on my way. After a 15 mile drive the battery was still dead and I had to jump the car again. I borrowed a battery from a friend and put mine on the charger.
And now I am wondering why my batter was dead. I disconnected the radio and with the car/ignition/lights/etc. off I put my Amp meter in line between the battery and the + cable an found that I have a 0.60 Amp draw on the battery. Are there any usual suspects that may cause this drain on the battery? The car is a 1970 with a 2056 D-jet. |

discounect the voltage regulator and see if the current draw stopps. (That would be one of the skinny red wires to the positive battery terminal), or just pull it off at the regulator plate
maybe you need a toe?????????????????? hahahahahaha |
