Thank you very much! I just downloaded it now and waiting for it to start. What is normal regular current draw? I'm willing to bet its the battery thats toast too since it sat w/no charge for a couple of days....

then measure your usage levels and patterns. You probably also want to order a new battery.

Theoretically, draining a fully-charged OEM battery in 1 hour would require an AVERAGE current draw of 1350 mA, which is nearly twice the absolute PEAK current draw I've ever seen on my Apache. IMO, chances are >95% that you've got an old, tired battery that won't hold a charge.
