Parasitic voltage drain is typically power that is being drawn from a power source when an item should be "off". For example; when a car is turned off typically it is still drawing small amounts of power to run a clock or keep an alarm funtioning. This could be considered a parasitic voltage drain. Sometimes in household systems it is also referred to as phantom power.
Some companies like Roemtech (which manufactures classroom audio systems) spends a lot of time and money trying to reduce parasitic or phantom voltage drain. This can amount to a lot of power savings over the span of a year.

What is parsitic voltage?
A fault could generate hazardous parasitic voltages.
How do you test a car battery?
The battery can be brought to many shops for a free test. Otherwise, you can test the voltage and parasitic drain amperage with proper usage of a multimeter, available at most hardware and electronics stores. To test the battery beyond voltage and parasitic drain, a very expensive piece of machinery is required to test it further. Most shops have such equipment.
How do you spell parasitic?
The correct spelling is "parasitic."
When current through a zener diode increases by a factor of 2 by what factor does the voltage across the zener diode increase?
If the zener diode is in zener breakdown the voltage across the zener diode remains constant regardless of current (for the ideal zener diode). Real zener diodes have parasitic resistance that causes the voltage across the zener diode to increase slightly with increased current, but due to temperature dependant variations in this parasitic resistance as well as temperature dependant variations in the zener breakdown voltage, this change in voltage in real zener diodes cannot be described by a simple linear factor.
