Re: Battery Preservation

It is not likely that the leakage through the output of the charger in it's off-state is more than a few mA, perhaps a few 10's of mA at the most. The 0.001 Ohm shunt resistance would produce a drop of only a few uV which would be pretty difficult to measure without specialized equipment.

You may want to replace the shunt resistance with a DVM set to measure 10's of milliamps. If you don't see anything, set the DVM to a more sensitive range.
