    Battery Drain with odd symptoms SLK 200 1.8 2006

But, after 20 minutes, it increases to 1.7A. The battery is good and even after 24 hours will just about start the car. The temporary drop...

    ML270 W163 Battery Drain

    My 2002 ML270's battery drains within a day. The battery has been tested to be good and is also reasonably new. I think I have isolated it to the culprit. When I switch of the car I can still hear a motor running inside the cabin in the dash. I then did the battery draw test which was running...
