Why does my Nissan club battery keep draining?
This happens when you get silting in one or more of the cells that make up the battery and it means you may need a new one. Sometimes, but not always you may see voltage anomalies at the battery.
Is there a problem with battery drain in the winter?
Winter is a killer, At 0C, 32 F a new battery is about 20-30 % depleted just being in the cold and the colder it is the worse it gets. So start your testing with a known good battery. Re: Batter Drain Problems Help!
Is it normal for a car battery to drain after 30min?
Ok, so that is definitely a ‘normal’ draw. 180mA is a little steep for 30min IMHO but shouldn’t flatten any healthy car battery. So I think you can rule out parasitic drain by the car electrics.
What should I do if my batter battery is draining?
Re: Batter Drain Problems Help! One quick check is to charge it up, and then, with the key out, remove the negative cable. If you get more than the very smallest of sparks, something is draining the battery. Or you can pull the negative cable, pull the positive cable, put a ampmeter between

Depending on the age of your car, the starter may also be suspect. Winter is a killer, At 0C, 32 F a new battery is about 20-30 % depleted just being in the cold and the colder it is the worse it gets. So start your testing with a known good battery.
