what is normal for battery current leakage?

[gloucester Q]

HI all-

Doing a little troubleshooting on the Q (1990) and was wondering if anyone had a spec for normal battery current drain with the car off. I measured 70 mA although it was jumping around quite a bit. Thanks.

excellent question.
I have found this gets tricky to measure. as most of the loss seems to be the electolytic caps leaking. also more complicated on my 94/95 with the LAN.
One thing you might consider is to go to the fuse box and measure 'across the missing fuse'.
that will at least tell you circuit by circuit vs. aggregate.
