Trying to do a drain test with a flat battery can also be misleading

Get the new battery on charge whilst your tinkering and then see if it discharges, it cant hurt to check.

If your battery is losing charge overnight it has to be a parasitic drain, no? It's unusual(and I hope wrong, since I've just bought one) but could your CTEK potentially be to blame.
