Re: [DML] Re: Where is the common electrical leak?



Hi Walt

Lets do some quick maths here:

My battery is 58Ah (OEM batt) - that means it will flatten in 58 hours at 1A or in 1 hour
at 58A. 11.7mA is 0.0117A

58 divided by 0.0117 equals 4957 hours

which is 206 days

I would call this a reasonable time for a battery to discharge "on its own" wouldn't you?

IMO the emergency unlock is of limited use anyway.
