Hi Jammy.

Just to update you on this battery drain issue. Over email, Monica advised my to disconnect the OBD, which I had installed and thought I could leave in permanently. After removing the OBD my car no longer seems to have the battery drain problem.
So, I'd like to thank you guys for your help.

Hi. I published another post some days back. Seems like it don't appear, so I write again.

I have done some troubleshooting and found that the car battery quickly (~15 mins) gets drained when the car engine is off. When the car engine is on, the car battery naturally don't discharge as the alternator is doing charging simultaneously.

I have not done any manual wiring, just used the connectors that came with the unit.

What do you think the battery drain problem may be?

To add to my original post: If I use the radio when the engine is off (i.e. when the alternator is not charging the car battery), the car battery quickly drains, after a few minutes. Then, I need to push the car to get it started again.

I have done some testing over time, and the battery drainage problem seems to be reproducible and consistent.

Regarding the connections, I just followed the description. I did no manual connections. The reversing camera is connected to the reversing light, so it is only one while reversing.

Could you please explain what other typical sources of error could cause the battery drain problem?
