[QUOTE="fjules, post: 5304442, member: 12161"] I posted earlier about accidently connecting up my battery backwards. I finally got a chance to continue trying to assess any damage I may have caused. One thing someone suggested was to measure the current draw when the car is off. I put a meter in series with the battery and I measured 165mA. I was told it should be less than 60mA. Has anybody ever measured this? I still have not been able to track down any distruction from connecting the battery backwards. I really think the smoke I saw when I did it came from the alternator. It may be possible that the additonal 100mA draw I am measuring is from the damage to the alternator? If anybody gets a chance, please make this measurement and let me know your findings. [/QUOTE]
