3rd battery in 4 month
I'm sure this is a very common question, but again.
My H2 kill 3 batts in 4 month, obviously, no more batt warranty. During this time, I make a couple of tests and radio, radio amplifier, car lighters, washer pump, power locks, SOS system fuses are disconnected, but last night it killing the batt.
Any of you has starter, alternator, power seats, power mirrors or wiper motor issues that drain the batt?
Any help will be really appreciated.

You need to monitor more than 30 to 40 seconds. Grab a beer and monitor the cycle, while pulling fuses.

Also search here on the forums for parasitic draw. I've posted some time back a document from GM that details that test on an H2 and states how long it takes for certain modules to "sleep". Also, if your Onstar is no longer used, definitely remove the fuse for it as that is a known culprit, especially if it is an early analog one (continually searching for an analog cellular signal as well as satellites for GPS). I believe that is the VCIM fuse in the underhood fuse box if I remember right.

My hummer had a tracking system installed. I can’t remember what it was called but it is now owned by lo lack. My truck battery would drain all the time. Once I removed the tracking system and stopped buying batteries from gm my truck battery had never died.

There will always be a tiny draw. That is to keep the electronic memory going, like clock, etc. So the 0.002A you are seeing is likely correct.
The initial higher reading was likely your courtesy lights.
Looks normal to me.
