Hi all I have a GT500 KR 2008 and I am having trouble with battery going flat in about 4 days if not used. I have tested current draw, and is drawing 110milli amps while sitting with keys out of ignition is this normal?? Murray.

To me that doesn't sound normal. Seems like something isn't "shutting down" when you take the keys out. Bad part is trying to narrow done what is still drawing power.

Thanks Bob, As I am in NZ I am unsure if the draw down is to high as with the security light flashing and other constant computer demand that is normal I'm not sure.The other thing is! The battery is now 5 years old could that be part of the problem.
If you know of anyone that knows what the normal drawdown should be I would appreciate that info.
Thanks Murray

From what I know 50 milliamps and less is normal. Having a 5 year old battery could possible be the problem. I've see batteries drain themselves with internal flaws. Try replacing the battery and see if you still have the problem.

Thanks Ian. I pulled all fusesand made no change to draw/down. I missed some of your mesage, TSB? please clarify. Thanks.
I see your in Ontario, we will be up there in July next year on the ponydrive.Thanks again
