I’ve been keeping an eye on front battery (about 5 months old) - occasionally having to jump it from another vehicle. The #1 alternator has been rebuild - dash lights show both alternators to be working. The morning after my 40 mile trip the battery was dead, but jumped off easily/quickly.
I did a load test on this battery - seemed to barely “pass”. I broke out the multimeter. I believe this reading shows an 83/84 milliampere draw. Removing each fuse caused no change in this reading. I’ve replaced the battery had the old one tested at an auto parts store. Was told it is “good, but needs a charge”. I’ll put it on a charger.
Any ideas how/where I should look next or should I just drive (or at least start and run for awhile) more regularly? Maybe a battery tender?![A9901A7C-D3BF-4DDA-9781-94E75E76B5FF.jpeg A9901A7C-D3BF-4DDA-9781-94E75E76B5FF.jpeg](https://www.steelsoldiers.com/data/attachments/606/606341-591f72e2223df8bd537df410a335a2e4.jpg)
