Yeah I was convinced my OEM battery was dead after four years etc....so I replaced it...to find out my antenna tuner in the car was drawing half an amp all the time when the car was off....

Radio gear likes to draw current even when 'off' and if you have it direct wired guess what?

Meanwhile I could have used that old battery for shack backup power...but I already tossed it.
