I recently bought a 9-3 linear. After I got it home I only moved it out of the driveway and onto the street, then back into the driveway at night. I bought it on a Sunday and by Tuesday afternoon the battery was dead to where it wouldn't start the car.
I charged the battery back up and checked the voltage which was 12.7V. The following day (after approx. 24 hours) I checked the battery again and it was reading around 12.2V. The following day later in the afternoon I checked again and the battery read 9.4V and would not start. Checked the battery with an ammeter and only read 0.2-0.3A. The car has just been sitting so it's obvious that something is draining the battery.
I tested tonight for the fuses by having the volt meter across the battery and pulling the maxi fuses one by one. They all stayed relatively the same however when I pulled F30, the voltage increased from 12.10V to about 12.17V. I wasn't sure if this was enough of a change though
Does anyone have any ideas what could be draining my battery or a better way to test it?
