No, you don't need to have the battery at full capacity. It will help, but not needed. Anything over 10 milliamps draw means something is amiss.

Spoke to the mechanic here- super happy to find this guy.  Worked on a number of C14s and ZX14s.  He urged me to get a new, higher quality battery and the solar panel I found.  Got an Interstate coming rather than the Duralast that was on there.  Will charge it up once it arrives and check for a draw with the multimeter this weekend, hopefully.  Glad to find a highly regarded local guy that can do basic stuff when needed and don't have to deal with all that garbage getting a dealer to mount tires.

Even so, you should still do a parasitic drain test to confirm there isn't something draining the battery...

Oops, I get an "F" for reading comprehension :)  Sorry
