Mine drains down after about 4 or 5 days but I have so much extra electrical crap everywhere on this turbo car I just put it on a battery tender until I drive it which is only a few times a month.

Finally bought me a multimeter (some cheap $30 one from Advanced)

With the Neg cable off, car completely off, it reads 0.13 milliamps... Is this a normal reading? (The meter only goes to 2 decimal places... 0.00)

Are you sure it's reading in milliamps not amps? If it is milliamps 13 should be fine.

Im sure, but my battery keeps going dead... I'm stumped

EDIT: I noticed that it goes from .o40ish milliamps then jumps down to the 13-15 mark almost instantly. Stupid junk meters
