[DML] Re: LEDS-Battery Drain



Your battery if a yellow top is 48 amp/hour.  To drain it in two days 
you must have about a 1.0 amp load.  LEDs typicaly draw 30 ma for 
every three diodes/bulbs.  Hence a 6 LED bulb will draw 60 ma, a 12 
LED will draw 120 ma....etc.

Are you sure your door lights are off?  Or do you have so many LEDs 
that you are drawing 1 amp.?

Or does the amount of Leds matter? Is that causing my problem?
