Slow drain on battery 1996 D1 SD

[LRDONE]

If you use a decent volt meter you should be alright. My meter has a 500ma fuse. A .5amp draw will kill a battery over night. So you should be able to see anything that's killing your battery in a day or two without issue.

As I said.

I am not "anti-multimeter".

I am just pro-test-light.. especially for the "gross testing" evolution.

These days, I suspect crappy quality diodes in the H-bridge rectifier as the initial culprit

I put one of these on.. If I go out camping or deep into the desert I disconnect the battery! Or if Rover going to sit for a few months I'll cut it off to save the battery.

I put one of these on..

I've got the same one and use it regularly.

I have that one on of TRs because it sits all winter. If I can’t track down the issue I suppose I could go that route. havent had time to get back to it as of yet.
