Chronic Dead Battery, amps at rest?

Chronic Dead Battery, amps at rest?
My battery keeps dying. I've charged it, changed it, still dies. If I don't put it on a trickle charger every night the next day it's dead.
The car is pulling 0.71 amps with everything turned off.
Is this normal?
Thank you,
BKH

If your battery cannot hold a charge with a 0.71 amp draw overnight I would strongly suggest it is not fit for purpose, doesn't matter which model MB a 12 volt battery should easily last over several days at that low amperage.

There are a multitude of dead-battery problems on this forum.
If so equipped, check power seat modules, keyless go, and in my own personal case check that the alternator is functioning properly. I had one that charged the battery (after a boost) and then sucked the power out of the battery overnight. A faulty diode in the alternator was at fault.
By the way, a battery that goes completely dead more than five to six times will never hold a charge longterm.
