Normal battery drain?

[traveler1]

What should be the typical battery drain (current flow) in milliamps on a new 2011 Genesis V8 4.6L when the vehicle is left parked for several weeks? Am concerned that car might not start upon my return after I have left it in an airport parking lot.
Hyundai Customer Service won't give me an answer other than saying I have free road service to call if the Genesis won't start!
I understand from reading various threads that for long term storage in one's own garage (or where there's a 115vac source available) a battery maintainer should be purchased & connected.

I can't answer that question, but will say this:
You are a very brave and trusting soul to leave your Genny at an airport parking lot for SEVERAL WEEKS! Are you sure you can't get a ride? Take a cab?

I store my car in my garage in the winter and drive other vehicles, but the spring after my 1st storage the car fired up like I drove it a week earlier, but was about 5 months. I use a trickle charger during the winter now, but you have nothing to worry about.

And if you still worry....pull the master fuse for the cars electronics in the drivers side door. It's the fuse surrounded in bright yellow plastic. It's like a breaker for your car

Re: Normal Genesis battery drain?

This is an old thread, but just in case someone needs the info.....

I just had to test my 2012 because a new battery kept dying.

Hooking a voltmeter between the negative terminal and cable showed a draw of 1.6 amps for 30 seconds, then it went down to .8 amps. After about 15 minutes it went down to .023 amps (23 milliamps).

I hope this helps someone sometime.
