Also, thanks for putting an ammeter in line, makes it easier to diagnose than when people just say, "it drains the battery" or "I get a spark when I put the cable on the terminal"!

The battery checks out Ok and rated better than expected.The only thing left to worry about are ground contact, alternator and starter.My question: is a battery drain can be related to an alternate when the caris off and key is off? The alternator is putting out about 14.3 volts, is thiscan be misleading and no enough amps are delivered to the battery? I wouldappreciate your input.
