Subject:Battery draining, or bad battery?
From:Ray Perry
Date:Sun, 21 Mar 1999 21:27:18 -0800

I am having trouble keeping new batteries.  I am on my second "Die Hard"
in 20 months and it is going dead on me after sitting a few nights
without running it.  I suspect there is a power draw somewhere.  When
checking the amp drain on the battery at rest  (nothing turned on except
the clock) there is about .6 amp draw.  When I remove the # 3 fuse,
there is no draw.  Is the .6 amp draw reasonable?  Is there a factory
spec for this?  Anyone have a similar problem?

Thanks for your input.
