Ok I went and rechecked the Draw. This time I used my Good Fluke 88 meter, ;) instead of the HF cheapie. :sick:
It is 7ma from the clock. The stupid HF meter reads the same number with the meter set to the MA or A scale. So I was dumb for thinking it was right. Should have pulled out the real gear to test it. Just got back from HF and returned both the Low Reading Compression Tester and the POS Cheap Meter. Its the one they are currently giving away with a coupon. I paid $1.99 before, and its my third. They fail if you measure anywhere near the rated 10Amps, even though the fuse is still good. :angry:
So Current Draw is OK and Charging System is also.

Going to buy a new battery for it. Right now I'm using the 18-LA I got from Napa, out of the KZ. Works great, the flooded battery, just to tall to get the tool tray back in. Even though this is the listed Battery on all of the web sites, in a flooded lead acid. So I have to watch the dimensions on purchase.
