Last weekend the 2016 Civic Touring wouldn't start. Battery dead. My voltmeter showed 5V. I bought an interstate and it measured 12.5V and installed it. Drove the car about 20 minutes to reset everything. Seemed fine. Now 2 days later and not having been driven since, I popped the hood and checked and it had 12.25V. I expected 12.6V or so. So put the meter in Amps mode and connected between the battery and cable. After the initial surge, it settled at 0.068A draw. I know there's going to be some draw, but how much is excessive?
