Default What is normal parasitic drain on 997 C2 ?

I have 997.2 Carrera base model. I have been struggling with electrical issue few months ago until I replaced it with new battery and that seemed to fix the issue. I am still paranoid about the electrical issue since I had it sometime nowso I thought I would ask a question here.

What is the normal parasitic drain on our 997.2? I did a parasitic test today by connecting multi-meter in series with battery and all doors locked I get ~55mA to 60 mA. Is that considered normal parasitic drain ?

I was told that it should be below 40mA and Ideally 10mA on our cars and hence my question.

You are not too far off. I was told 45mA when locked with two clicks (hazards lit a few seconds, instead of 2 flashes).

When you did your series measurement was the hood locked?
