Ok, I just installed a new Optima 34R battery with adapter plate. Battery is full of charge. Before connecting the negative cable, I checked the parasitic amp draw and found a whopping 1.2 amps. The 07 987 is completely bone stock. I unplugged the front boot light to get an accurate reading, (doors closed, everything in the off position.)
Is this what I should expect? No wonder why my earlier new Interstate battery went down to 4 volts in two weeks, ruining the thing.
