Nissan Micra 2005 - Battery drain - 53mA parasitic #

Year of Manufacture *: 2005

Hi All

2005 Nissan Micra with a battery drain issue.

Parasitic drain of no less than 53mA...

Pulling fuses identified BCM as cause of drain.

Can someone confirm at least, the expected drain when in full sleep? I would assume around 10-20mA maximum on this basic vehicle...

BCM fuse out and we see 4-6mA drain, something is keeping the BCM awake, but would like to confirm expected sleep drain before continuing further.

Thanks in advance

What drain do you have after 45 mins standing with car locked?A 53Ma drain does not sound too drastic.What is the amp/hour rating of the battery?As a basic rule to work out desired IOD (ignition off draw)multiply the a/h capacity of the battery by 0.6 So a 50 ah battery would give 30 mA.Can't recall ever seeing a car with less than around 25-30 ma drain.
