My truck has about a 40ma parasitic drain (radio,alarm, ECU, clock memory...) that will make the truck unstartable with my  6 year old red-top after 2-weeks.......

So I moved it to my 64 Valiant with 0 parasitic drain.   Starts after months of sitting.


Seems that they lose reserve capacity with age..........
