Battery voltage was 12.47 8pm after a good drive, 12.46 at midnight but the 12.22 this morning. Car caught my attention a week ago when it didn't turn over with pep and at some point i measured the battery at only 12.00 volts. Alternator puts out 13.9 and the battery tops out at 12.47 after a charge. Midtronics $$ battery tester says the battery is good. If i leave the battery disconnected overnight the voltage stays steady.

I saw a few videos and noticed the mechanics using a Fluke 88v or 87v. Turns out they are about $330. Pricy no?

I did a current draw with a old radioshack DMM. Said .2 mA once and .02 another time. I can't trust this as i misused it by having probes on amp jacks and then went to test battery voltage and it smoked a bit. Not fused.

Any known circuit know to result in a mild drain? No rush - i've got time and can disconnect the battery anytime, btw do the hood releases fail? I tend to open my hood more than the average bloak.
