The battery is original OEM 2012 Nissan. So it is approximately 4 years old. As I noted in my original post I had the battery and charging system tested at Advanced Auto Parts while on the road. Their conclusion was that both the battery and the charging system checked out OK. My understanding is that the key "off" load on the vehicle should be less than 0.05A (50 milliamps), that's why I assume there is some parasitic load drawing down the battery. Am I wrong about this? The battery test showed the following Voltage 12.83V Measured 635 CCA Rated 700 CCA Temperature 95 degrees F

Hello NV Owners, I started having problems this week, with a dead battery. Assumed something was left on in the van while at a jobsite. Jump started and off to the next site. Same issue. Another jump start. Down the road to the next project. Stopped at Advanced Auto Parts after 40 minute drive. Battery checks good, charging system checks good. Drive and charge another 40 minutes and park at the hotel for the night. Next AM battery dead. At this point I assume I have some parasitic load pulling the battery down when the truck is off. I put an amp probe on the negative battery cable and it shows with everything off and all doors closed there is a 0.5 Amp draw on the battery. I set up my amp meter, and went to the interior and pulled each fuse, 1 by 1. No drop in battery current, still 0.5 amps. Went under the hood and pulled all fuses in the fuse box, same result. NOTE: there are a number of fuses in this panel which cannot be removed without unplugging the wiring harness(s) to get to the fuse. Anyway, I am no closer to tracing this down. Checking to see if any other owners have had this problem.
