0 Semmysonic Posted March 23, 2016 Report Share Posted March 23, 2016 Mine used to kill the battery if I left the door open for too long gone, must have been the interior lights. Changed the battery and had no more issues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 QinteQ Posted March 23, 2016 Report Share Posted March 23, 2016 should a battery drain 6 amp flat enough it will need a jump starterYes unless the battery is in good nick. A battery only has one job, to start the car, once started an alternator runs all the stuff happily. The normal condition of the battery pulls 0.015 to 0.025, just fifteen to twenty five milliamperes, its going to pull 25mA just for the PCM clock etc even when nothing is on and it pulls till 15 minutes after park & alarm when the computers are then put to sleep.
