Re: Battery Draw - Need Advice on What Meter Numbers Mean

Thanks for the lesson. As I work in the water engineering industry, I fully understand the garden hose analogy. My dad was an electrical engineer but it never 100% stuck with me.

Per the above quote... Regardless, I am at 0.01 with nothing on. I'm scratching my head as I actually pulled every fuse and still had a little draw (0.01). However, based in what you guys said, that's completely normal. Maybe the battery is defective. I'll keep an eye on it.

Regarding the trailer break contraption on my inner fender, I am curious if I can test electrical draw there, I used the meter on the doohickey and nothing.
