<p>A parasitic drain is an electrical load that continues to draw power from the battery even when the car is turned off. Common sources include lights left on??? faulty sensors??? or aftermarket accessories. Finding a parasitic drain can be tricky. It often involves using a multimeter to measure the current draw from the battery while systematically disconnecting fuses to isolate the circuit causing the drain. This is often best left to a professional.</p>
