Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1Original post

This is a follow up from my previous post - still need help! So I got a good multimeter from my electrical engineer neighbor (a Fluke) and connected it to the + side in series with the exhaust valve controller disconnected. After the car "went to sleep," about 10 minutes later, the reading was a steady .019 - perfect as less than .050 should be good. I was sure the valve power source was my issue so I reconnected it, just to see. Again, once the car went to sleep, it read .019. Now I don't think that was my issue (although I will reconnect it to a keyed power source). Any ideas? Battery is only a month old as I thought the old battery was my issue. If I use a trickle charger, the car quickly gets to full charge and the battery itself tests out at 12.4 volts.

POST 2Original post

Voltage tests for a battery are largely inaccurate. You need to do a load test. Granted, a new battery should be fine, but there can be infant-mortality failures on them. I'd say, get it tested. If the battery has ever been dead, then it is likely damaged, and could need replacement. Good thing is, with it being new, you should have a warranty on it. If the battery is recovering fast on a trickle charger, that also could mean the capacity is compromised. 12.4V is actually pretty low for a brand new battery , if you still want to trust the voltage reading... it correlates to about 75% charge, which isn't great for a 1-month old battery . 0.019... what? Amps, I assume. I agree, that's a good low number.

POST 3Original post

Battery draw can definitely be a PITA to track down, and while I’m fortunate to have never been pressed into doing a search for parasitic drain, this video seems to be pretty spot-on in guiding one through the process.

POST 4Original post

I leave my car for at least two weeks at a time. (Up on a hoist) It has a large lithium battery . With the doors shut but not locked, it takes a couple of hours to charge back up to full on the charger after two weeks. Lithium batteries have a very low self discharge rate so there is obviously some current drain. Does anyone know the lowest drain configuration? Doors locked/unlocked make any difference?

POST 6Original post

Does that cause any “issues”. ABS seems to reset after a short drive. Might run the back up battery in the Kenwood screen down. Just wondering if any Porsche systems wouldn’t like being powered down for a few weeks at a time. Manual, no electric suspension or anything.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
