What's the acceptable range of parasitic drain on 91 Lexus LS400 battery?
Hello everyone!
I have parasitic drain of .055 milliamps on car's battery. After couple of weeks of subzero temperatures here in Alaska and I didn't fire up the car for 10 days and today when I wanted to start the car, I found the battery dead. I bought the battery less than a year ago from Autozone, today when I performed load test on it, it went below 5 volts during cranking the car. My car's alternator is working flawless, I went to Autozone and replaced my car's battery with a newer one without charge because it was still under warranty. Autozone guy tested the battery himself also and found it bad.
I am wondering if this .055 parasitic draw is responsible for killing my car's battery or is it the subzero temperature that killed it?
