Disco Ser2 51 Plate
I know there have been previous threads on this, but cannot find definitive answer with respect to current consumption.
Q1. What is the correct (no fault) current taken from battery, when parked up, everything (lights, radio etc) switched off ?
I've been having trouble with flat battery, after vehicle standing unused for two days. I presume the only thing that should be taking any current is the alarm/ECU system. BTW the battery is only 3 months old.
Measuring my Disco, I get a reading of 0.2 Amps. (ie 200mA)
Q2. Is this figure correct for a "no fault" Disco ? With a 60AH fully charged battery, this would drain battery in about 10 to 12 days according to my rough calculations.
Perhaps my "almost new" battery is "cream crackered" !!!!! The vehicle charging circuit has been given a clean bill of health, by an "expert" !!
Any ideas/answers?
Regards
