By putting a DC ammeter in series with the negative battery connection. Did anyone ever tell you that you shouldn't answer a question with a question. If you have specific information that will help me please let me have it? If not return my money asap.

I needed more information from you before I could try to answer your question.

In fact, I still need more information from you about your amp meter.

But I will give you a response on the information I have before me.

If you don't think you have a a draw draining the battery, then I suggest that you disconnect the battery for 4 days. Then hook it back up and see if it starts.

If it starts, then the battery is good and you have a draw.
If it doesn't start, then the battery is bad.
