Hummer H2 For those who like a little more gleam to their Hummer, the H2 offers a similar rugged look as the H1, but as a lower cost, and with more added features, making it almost a massive luxury SUV.

Parasitic drain non fuse any thoughts?

To the OP. Have you considered that you may just have a weak battery? Basing this on your comments.

Before you go chasing parasitic draws, you are better off to haul your battery to the store and get them to do a ”load-drop test” on it. My local store will do it free.

That should have been your FIRST step.

Just because the battery is new, does not mean it is good. Just like not all new engines are good, or tires. Some have defects.
Test it before you waste your time further.

So true, happened to me last year two times, it was a bad batch of batteries.

Get a battery tester, technology wise they're amazing, so underestimated, very low cost and will take out all the guesswork and messing around with batteries.

Hey Brave, Cant say 100% just yet, but things have been going great. Battery was only .15 milla amps drain every time I checked over last week. Battery was holding at 11.88 after a few days of not firing him up. The H2 has been fired up just fine. The fluke meter that I ordered came in but the battery connecter on the back was broken. Kinda bummer… Was an amazon 2nd hand item. Just will have to return.Did order the ohm checker that was recommended. Just put official first 1000 miles on H2 been loving every moment of it!! Cant believe how well its been coming along. Really excited to share with you and this community. Going to try to win H2 of the month. Haha. Again major THANK YOU to everyone replying to the thread really have learned a ton.
