Returned from top hol in sunny spain .......... to find dead zed......(two weeks).....which also flattened the battery back-up alarm!!!!!

 

********..... had had battery prior to this and battery was on last legs..new one fitted. What is the best method of tracing this.....????

 

Many Thanks

btt

I dont get you what you mean Tracing it?

Put an ammeter on the battery, and see the current flowing, then remove all the fuses one by one till the current drops, then you've found where the problem lies...

 

------------------

I take it the ammeter goes between + ve battery and + lead (in series methinks)???

 

Does n.e one know what current would be expected to be drawn by internal clock/alarm + the odd othe 12V perm lives?

thats it!! in line either pos or neg.

 

with everything switched off you want ideally less than 0.1 - 0.2 amps

I feel the need, the need for speed!
