Parasitic Draw, Alternator?

1995 nissan maxima 232K miles
If I suspect that my alternator has a bad diode or rectifier, what kind of amp draw should I be seeing? The battery is new but will go down if the car sits idle for 3-4 days.

You may get a better response from a Nissan forum, this is a 82-92 Camaro firebird forum.
