10. WHAT IS PARASITIC LOAD?
Parasitic (key off) is the cumulative load produced by electrical devices,
e.g., clocks, computers, alarms, etc., that operate after the engine is
stopped. Parasitic loads typically run 20 to 120 milliamps. To test the
parasitic load an amp meter must be inserted in series with either the
positive or negative battery terminal and it's cable without the engine
running. If the parasitic load is prematurely discharging your battery,
start removing fuses one-at-a-time until the offending electrical
component is identified. Leaving your headlights on will generally
discharge a fully charged battery (with 90 minutes of Reserve Capacity)
in two to six hours.

so you ruled out that your battery and alternator are in good working order?
