Thanks for that! I won't go as far as to get the gauge- would need more background learning before i could make use of it.

btw FWIW it was a 5 year old Interstate battery and a night on the charger brought it back to life (for now). It was dead for between 6 and 11 days but I don't know when the short happened. Guess I should be glad it didn't burn down the car and the garage, but I guess that's one thing fuses do.

It turned out to be something under the passenger seat. Pulled the fuse for that and it stopped. Put the fuse back in, it started clicking again, but then I hit the seat adjusters and it stopped. I have to take the seat out and see if there's anything obvious I can see but I'm not optimistic, and I don't know if I could count on it not happening again and running down the battery at the worst time.
Hope to get to that soon.
