25ma parasitic draw low enough to not care about?
Car has remote start and aftermarket radio.
On an E350 van.

 

That's equal to a 1A draw for 40 hrs. Or a 4.2 A draw for an hour, once a week. Sulphonation is your only real worry, unless it sits past 2 weeks, often, IMHO. Keep it floated or use cheap batteries, knowing you will ruin them, in time. Sadly, just popping a battery cable screws up transmission learning and all sorts of modern crap.

 

The battery in wife's van wouldn't start it today.
I was thinking the battery didn't last that long. Started looking for possible reasons.
Took out the old Exide battery. It was made in 9 / 2016. Found old receipt, 10 / 2016.
I guess 7 1/2 years ain't so bed.
Stuck a motorcraft in it.
Truck was born on 05 /2011 and battery died in 10 / 2016. so5 and a 1/2 years on OE battery ain't too bad either.

25ma ain't much.

 

There's probably a spec for parasitic draw. I had one in my Lexus, and the spec said up to 50mA was acceptable. After repair, it's down to 22mA.

 

Much, is very relative. It's not much, but over enough time, it is. When LEDs became cheap in the late 70's, the vast majority were generally given a seriesed resistor to limit them to 20ma.

 

Had my emergency vehicle driving test today. I passed. Biggest thing was getting used to air brakes and sitting forward of your steer axle

 

Nice!

One of these would be a trip as well -

 

Been going hot and heavy doing trans work this weekend. Working on 3 at the same time is fun. Got one of each at the moment Ford, GM, and Dodge.

This is never a good sign:

 

Brew, this video is cold!

 

Thanks white, don't work too hard.
