    I stand corrected! Maybe 10mA might be drawn from the battery. For a healthy fully charged battery it would take months to completely flatten the battery but, if the battery is a bit tired, you'd likely have starting problems or worse after a couple of months, as Willy says. How long was it connected but switched off Mark?

    I'm surprised the Ctek will likely do this as I assumed there'd be...

    Coincidentally, I charged my Ryobi battery last week and then switched off the charger without removing the battery. Today I did remove the battery, pushed the test button and it was flat.

    It’s amazing what they found.

    Trump back where he started, but thinks he has some sort of victory!
    Before this attack on Iran the Hormuz strait was open, oil being distributed unhindered, and Iran had some kilos of enriched Uranium, though not (quite) the ability to assemble a nuclear device. None of that has changed. Where's the victory in Trump threatening, and then blinking first when they called his bluff?

    Here's an EV tech thing I don't really understand. With my car stationary with auto park brake on, the electric motor is switched off. Or at least it isn't spinning as it is direct drive with no form of automatic clutch in the drive train.

    It may be the far side, but it’s also still the dark side - compared to the bright side.

    It wasn't me!! I was doing some serious repairing caused by the warm weather; i.e. the heater control knob fell into two pieces when I turned the heater off😱
    Look forward to an update!!

    just measured parasitic drain on battery and it is 0.047a so i think that will be the stereo memory as nothing else is on so starting to believe it is the ctek not being turned on that drained it.

    Hi Allen. Sorry wasn't being critical, just wishing. Lol.

    Still if so long ago, hopefully improved. And it was around then bad springs/steel abounded. So again hopefully not a problem now. And main thing is you got the money back.

    All good news really. 😆.

    I'll update when mine arrive and I fit them.

    I passed a bloke in a V8B going the opposite direction to me yesterd...
