Standing Battery Discharge Rate
Can someone tell me the 'normal' battery discharge Amp rate with the car locked and the alarm on.
I see two rates one immediately on locking and a reduced one after about a minute (this is I suspect a time out to let the alarm settle down) thanks

Yes, you'll have to leave it for 5-10 mins before taking your reading. A normal discharge is around 30-35mA - anything over 50mA needs to be investigated

Hi when testing my 2002 s60 D5 , I was getting 70ma, that is to high, I had a good Bluetooth adapter wired to the factory head unit, and this was the problem , I did a reset on the Bluetooth adaptor and all is now good about
30ma, so if you have a Bluetooth adapter on your head unit, look there, Dave |

DID A BIG CHECK of possible discharge routes.
First under the bonnet fuse box checked all live fuses then with my DVM in circuit on AMPS pulled each live fuse. NOPE none of them were the problem. Second pulled off the panel at the drivers door and did the same check on the fuses there. Apart from dropping the fuse pulling tool down behind the trim panel that also was a negative, none of the live fuses were responsible for this drain. Checked the LPG power feed as well when under the bonnet I did this all with the alarm on and the door/boot and bonnet locks tripped to fool the car into thinking it was locked. Now is there another fuse box hiding somewhere??? thanks
