    might be old wiring...I have a similar problem. even with driving the car every day. Certain times I turn on the car I get low voltage...if I rev the car past 3K rpms the volts shoot up to normal. I especially notice it at night. When I do it the dash gets brighter and all is cool. I am not sure what it is either but the only thing I can think of right now is old wiring. I mean my car is 12 years old...not sure what year 7G you have but its anywhere from 10-14 years old

    I dont know the factory battery discharge, but 0.26 A is way too much. I'm talking about mA of discharge, so look for the problem. You can get away with battery master kill switch, maybe
    God created turbo lag to give the v8's a brief moment of hope.
