Engine run time to keep battery charged

OMG, are you guys politicians, OCD engineers, or techno weenies wanna be's?
If the OP fretted over all the fly **** in pepper in this thread s/he probably never would accomplish the goal. The OP isn't building a Mars rover (been there, done that) and needs to know quiescent current draw down to the nano amp,or if it is 0.002 ma or 0.100 ma, or if the OP going to do an oil analysis to determine %of H2O
that, if left in the engine long enough will rust away 500 lbs of cast iron and degrade aluminum.
I don't recall anyone saying that if all the car running for is to keep
up the battery, why not just remove the battery, maybe put it on a slow
charge every week or so like the one for Harbor Freight that can be
bought for aobt $ 5 on sale ? For my lawn mower I have a solar cell I
bought for charging batteries and put it on the mower in the winter as
there is no electricity in the mower shed.
