Unlike some here, I left my Multi on the drive when I went on holiday this year. Came back after just short of 3 weeks away, and the battery is flatter than Cilla Blacks chest.

Any hints/tips on tracing the short? The battery is nearly new and it's a good quality Bosch one, so I don't think that's at fault. As I understand it, I need to disconnect the battery +ve cable and put an ammeter between cable and terminal, note the current drawn, then remove fuses one at a time until the reading drops to zero.
