I'm getting a flat battery overnight. Taking the battery down to the auto parts store to test condition, but I think it's OK; so I probably have a short to ground somewhere or a component running at all times that shouldn't (is the parasite in "parasitic amperage draw" an ampire?). I know the modern car draws amperage at all times, but I assume it's low. What amperage reading should I be getting in a healthy car?
