+ 1 except max parasitic drain is 50 milliamps.

 

You're right, and things that are very modern (or very old) could hit that mark.

My quoted figures aren't for a year, brand, model, boat, airplane whatever... it's a calculation of typical battery capacity/resting times/starter draw where a reasonable human can expect a thing to sit for awhile and still be able to start itself.

Unless it's a specific issue, or requires a specific number (like aircraft), then 3/10ths of one amp is the approximate cut-off where I see the difference of complaints or no complaints. Shoot for less if you want, it's better.

 

There are probably a few reasons. Resources, cost, culture are a few. I grew up in one of these types of countries. We joked that there were no junk yards. Now I'm not saying the stuff driving down the road was safe or reliable, but for someone it was better than a donkey or a bicycle.

 

As an interesting note; when living in the Native villages in Alaska, all of the old snow mobiles, cars, 4 wheelers, etc end up in a common area that is free for anybody to pick through if they needed parts.
