RE: Testing for Leaking DC Current

[Larry Mittell <lmittel@ibm.net>]

Mike Sylvester pointed out an error in my previous post on this subject.
In that post, I averred that when a resistor is placed in series with an
automotive battery (or any other DC source, for that matter) for the
purpose of determining current draw (via voltage drop measurement), the
higher the resistance is, the closer the test current will be to the true
(sans resistor) current. *WRONG*  "Higher" should be "lower."

Hope I didn't mislead too badly,
