Default Amps draw on battery

Hello, I have a 98 sti type r and the battery keeps going flat. I've tested the battery and it needs replacing but would like to know what would be an acceptable reading when carrying out an amps draw test?
I'm getting 0.088 amps which seems a bit high? I do have a tracker fitted.
Cheers
James

0.088 is ok. 0.5 is considered acceptable

0.088A = 1W. Less than the interior light. Radio, clock, immobiliser, alarm sensors may all draw current.
