I may be chasing a problem of parasitic electrical leakage and I need advice on how to test for it. I have a multimeter, but how do you (the correct way) use it to see if there is a current draw after shutting down the main & alt switches?
I have noticed my Odyessy battery looses a little power after sitting. Last time I checked it was 12.3v. I put a Battery Minder charger (for AGM batteries) on it and it was up to 13.2 after sitting for a day with the ground cable removed. My conclusion is I have a parasitic draw somewhere.
How can I test with a mutimeter to find which circuit it the leaker? The plane is an RV-9A.
As always I appreciate any advice in advance.
