When I place an ammeter between the negative post on my battery and the battery wire, I read 28 ma with nothing turned on. We traced everything and it may just be a bad batery. Anyone else ever see t

Don, If the battery were bad, the drain path for the cells would be internal not external. ( The battery would go dead just sitting there.) What you are measureing is a current path to ground somewhe

I had a similar problem with my '68B about 10 years ago, though the current drain was more like 1 amp rather than milliamps that you are observing. In my case, the drain was bad enough that you coul

and the everything and -- 28 ma. is such a small amount of current that it could be caused by anything from a small (but normal) grounding to meter tolerance. Considered in relation to the 150 or so

Lets see: Assuming a battery rated around 50 ampere hours, and that the car could still start at 25% charge (not unreasonable). This leaves us a useable charge of 37.5 AH (ampere hours). At 28mA disc

On the subject of batteries...please don't throw anything at me for asking this...I have one 12V battery now and the SO is STRONGLY encouraging me to convert back to two 6V set up. Says there is more

Hi Becky, SO is probably right about the capacity, providing that you have one of those wee (Group 26?) batteries. Storage capacity relates to the physical size of the plates, among other things, in

Hi Becky, At the theoretical level, the PO may be right. At the practical level, the reason that we use a single battery now is because batteries are so much better than they were then that the capac

The man is absolutely right, of course. Except for the details. Nobody seems to make a decent 6 volt battery anymore. They gave up in the 60's. Just read the top of the battery for its CCA rating (Co
