I cut my lawn this PM. Before I started, the voltage across the
battery poles read some 10V.

When I finished it was the same. I disconnected the one battery lead
and did as discussed earlier and surprisingly discovered that my drain
is now 7V! No wonder the battery goes dead on me.

I have left the battery disconnected.

Haven't gone out of town yet. I checked the disconnected battery
today 24 hours after yesterday. Now the drain is 4V! Why would it
vary (just sitting there)? The battery is still 10V potential of
course.
