After I got the new battery, the car start up without issue now. I specifically mentioned the battery drawing current when it's completely off to the service consultant -- he dismissed it as an issue even though I said it's 2 amps, but he said he will ask the tech to check for anything abnormal. Later, he said everything is fine -- not sure if they measure it or not, and I got the car back.

Today, I have some time to measure the current draw again, and it shows 2.2A. Is this really normal for the car? It seems to be a lot of current to draw. Does anyone know if this is normal? From the internet for different cars, most seems to think under 0.1A is normal. Can anyone of you measure your car to see if it's drawing that much?
