Nearly 1/4 amp does seem a bit high. Have you double-checked that reading using your regular meter, just to make sure the clamp meter is accurate at low currents?

No, that is good idea though. Thanks.
On another note, I was able to perform the BMS test. It told me that my vehicle is not going to sleep properly AND that the wrong battery is in. It is expecting a 950/85 battery and what I have is 850/80.
Is there a means of updating or changing the battery via the scanner?

When ordering a new Exide 151, order it directly from the UK. even after shipping it will be considerably less expensive that getting one at a dealer.
I have been very pleased with Groves Batteries Ltd. Cheltenham.
When re-installing, note that factory OEM has a battery blanket that you most likely don't have anymore because the previous battery changes didn't take the time to re-install.
I go through the main battery specifications, and the battery reset with the IID Tool, and show a quiescent drain current table. I have never had any issues with the replacement batteries I have used, and I do discuss in the video the delta between OEM battery and the batteries we can get here (US).
