Battery probs - revisit

[Wanderer]

As I’ve said before had a lot of flat battery probs lately. So I charged the battery up and checked it for drain off the car every few days. Anyway back in car, along with a battery monitor I just bought, been on two days now, seems ok only thing I’ve done is removed the Autel ODB dongle. Battery experts, does this look ok? Looks good to me.

OBD socket is powered all the time.......
....which would rather account for the drain stopping when you unplugged the dongle.

Did they put a number on it? A bulb has minimal draw and we know how fast they can kill a battery......

Tis true - dunno the draw but it's better off out so I shall to paraphrase Jean Luq Picard - Leave it so......
