I  
need some basic suggestions on tracking down what must be a hidden  draw  
electrical demon on my '95 348.

First problem is that if  it isn't driven for about 10 days or more, it  
needs 
a booster to  start. I know the owner's manual talks about driving it every  
2  
weeks or so, but that isn't enough for this car. Battery may be getting on  
its  design life, but if it is driven every 5-7 days it does just  fine, with 
one 
exception, which I hope might help in the ability of some  to help in the  d
iagnosis.



Isn't that a common problem with 348's? Alternator fails and battery  doesn't 
get recharged adequately?
