Default Possible parasitic battery draw

Wow. I'm surprised to see an instant chat option here, but I'll happily take the offer since I'm completely out of my league of information when it comes to automobiles. However, I have a question about parasitic battery draw on a 2016 Honda Odyssey that has been adapted by Rollx Vans so that it is wheelchair accessible. I actually sent my vehicle back to them because of some quality concerns about their work. One of the final questions is coming down to why our battery goes flat so quickly when the vehicle is not in use. The battery has been tested and verified as good. Rollx has told me that their test for battery draw gave a reading of 0.064 mA. So, I went to the Internet to ask what that means and how it compares only to find many articles and many sites relating to parasitic battery draw and Hondas. Can anyone offer any information or insight into what I should be thinking about as a remedy or a fix?

You will need a multimeter to test for battery draw. You will then systematically begin to disable (remove fuse or unplug) systems in the vehicle to see when the draw value changes. I would start with the Rollx devices first.

Good luck.
