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.? --- In dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, John Podlewski <john_podlewski@...> wrote: > > Question: > My new Optima battery drains only when the rear engine compartment is open.
