you may be able to measure voltage drop from each of the incar fuses if they have exposed metal pins on top of each. Have to keep the car locked though so it gets to full rest/sleep. All the electronics are live for a while even id the car is not running. But the best way and safest way is using a DC clamp on the negative cable.no no no, I wasn't trying to measure CCA! haha I was just trying to see if there was a phantom power draw when the car is off, on the order of milliamps. But obviously I did it wrong.
What I meant is that you should bring it to the store from which it was purchased. They should charge it and do the load test.What would be the point of doing that if I already knew the battery needed replacement? I didn't want to take it to an auto parts store because I knew I would not be purchasing a battery from one of those stores, due to the warranty I already had.
