Ha ha. I don't have anything aftermarket. I just checked the charger and battery seems to be fully charged. So at the moment she's just sitting in my garage. Last time I drove her was Saturday afternoon so she sat in my garage until this morning when I tired to start her up. The Starter just clicked. Battery wasn't fully drained as I connected my charger for a few minutes and she started right up.


My X is a base model (if there is a base model). It has no fancy features that I know of. I sat inside for a minute. Didn't hear any noises of any kind. I'm hoping this was a one time thing as I don't want the new battery to keep draining. I will see if she starts tomorrow. I will check the battery with a multimeter. With the alarm active and in sleep mode, how much power should the multimeter be reading ?
