I do not understand this. 150mA is a very high figure for dark current, parasitic current, draw. At that rate it amounts to 3.6 amp hours per day! To 50% discharge a 45 amp hour battery this would take just over six days which is ridiculous. Surely there is a mistake here somewhere? I would be concerned if the draw was in excess of 20mA.
