Most are around the 30 - 45mA region I would have thought.
I once had an issue with a wrongly wired relay. (Dealer sold it like that!) The issue was the coil in the relay was permanently live, it shouldn't have been and was drawing about 200mA at rest. That was enough to cause starting problems / starting failiure after about 2 days of not being used I think. H/U's also tend to draw a small current at rest but normally 2mA - 20mA I would estimate. |

If I remember rightly - Battery Life = Battery Capacity in Milli amps per hour / Load Current in Mill amps * 0.70
75 amp per hour battery with a 45ma load should dissipate in around 1100 hours if this was the only load. 75 amps = 75000 / 45 x .7 Around 45 days dependent on temperature and loadings Cheers Simon I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you 1990 110 TD5 county, my first Land Rover - gone 2012 Discovery 4 XS SDV6 - gone 2014 Discovery 4 XS SDV6 - gone 2015 Evoque SD4 dynamic - Wife’s - gone 2015 Urban Truck 90 XS Santorini Black Hard Top - Reluctantly gone 2020 Discovery 5 Eiger Grey 3.0 SE - gone March 24 2021 Defender S D250 Santorini Black 110 HT - gone March 24 2023 Evoque P300e SE wife’s current vehicle |
