ok more bizarre behavior, i was out testing the current draw, and with all the fuses in, i would lock the car and in about 30 seconds it would drop to .02A which seems normal, and it has 12.24V on the battery, but now the car wont start, I get a single Click noise when trying to turn the car over, would that be a starter??? alternator??? voltage regulator?

 

ok so i did another parasitic draw test, and after the car goes into sleep i am reading .020A that seems normal yes?

It still is leaving me with a dead battery after a few days, i am suspecting i have a bad battery that while i can charge it to a full 12V it perhaps isnt holding charge? I bought it from autozone, they test it with their little handheld thing and say its fine. Not sure what else to do except do the battery anyway? thoughts?

 

Disconnect the battery for 2-3 days and then try it. If it sits for that time and is dead then you have your answer.

 

i just used a hydrometer and 1 cell is much lower than the other, I am about to go out of town for 5 days, i will leave it in the garage and then check the voltage when i get home. I have a feeling its a bad battery no matter what the tools at autozone say.
