I've heard that some of the new radios can put a very low drain on the
battery. Might be worth disconnecting the radio to see if it continues

Subject: Slow battery drain
I find that even with everything off I still have a small current flow from
the battery enough to draw it down in about a month if I don't run the car.
1976 TR6
I measured a drain of 2ma at the battery.
Any ideas what to look for, I didn't have this problem before I stored the
car for the winter.
I have been disconnecting the battery to keep it from discharging.
Also has anyone ever heard of a power antenna installed as a dealer option?
My car has one but I can't find the power feed to it (another one of those
DPO items) It's installed in the left front fender.
Looks like I may be pulling the fender off to have a look.
Cheers
