My 2003 Lt has always had battery "longevity" issues since I brought it home in '06.
By that I mean, after sitting for two days the battery would be down to 12.1volts. This is my third battery in 5 years, 2nd Odyssey. With my Odyssey charger, I disconnected the low side and charged the battery. The battery has maintained 12.7volts for a week now. So I finally got off my lazy ars and hooked up an amp meter in line with the low side of the battery. Much to my shock, the reading was 2.1amps! I pulled ALL the fuses with NO effect on the 2amp reading? I read allot of posts about "high" draw like 0.75amps, but come on 2amps? And yes that's with the fork locked/parked position.
What am I missing/overlooking?
