SUPRASUZUKI Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 I've not got an issue at the moment, but I measured the current draw with the car parked, everything off and locked with the key (alarm off). I saw 180mA like this, which doesn't sound too bad. This jumped to 600mA when I locked the car using the remote (so alarm on). Does this sound about right??

merckx Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 If the alarm when armed signals using the indicators or gives you a bleep then the current draw will obviously go up momentarily. The current draw should settle down to a lower value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPRASUZUKI Posted September 9, 2007 Author Share Posted September 9, 2007 The reading of 600mA is after the alarm is 'armed' and 'settled', so no bleeping / indicators on etc. Not a major problem at home as the car's garaged and on a trickle charger.

DannoSupra Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 It takes like 20mins for the mA to drop. if it doesnt then you got a problem.. mine's got 300-400mA drain, But my Batt is fooked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
