Rep Power: 453

I am about to do a parasidic drain test to see if I have something in the system draining my battery and I was wondering, when looking through the service manaul, it doesnt give any specs on what the normal amount of current draw there is on the battery from the system. I am trying to see what the limit is so I can determine if I have a drain somewhere.

I know there is some current draw on the battery at all times from some of the running memory ( radio and some other stuff ) but not that much to drain the battery, but if anyone might know the limit in amps that the system should draw from the battery, or what amp rating is starting to be excessive, please let me know.

I would say 1 amp would be pushing it

you should get a number that is really really low (milliamps) if you have no drain

7th gen civic will go into sleep mode to conserve power, but anything over 500 milliamps is way too much.

Well I am going to start off with Amps and if that doesnt read anything then I will go to milliamps. But I just want to know what is excessive. 500 milliamps seems like alot though. wouldnt even a smaller number be excessive.

And wouldnt 1 amp be normal? I guess not.
