Battery drain on a 1993 Cadillac Devile.

I am just trying to help a neighbor with a battery drain problem.
She has a 93 Drville that had a 300mili amp battery drain that pulled the battery down. Traced the drain down to a flaky glove box lamp switch. Charged the battery at 2 amp trickle for 2 hours till the car would crank so the lady could go to the store.
The car still has a 20 mili-amp drain on the battery but I thought that might be normal for this car?

This morning the neighbor called with the battery down again and the starter would not turn over.
I hooked up my battery charger set at 2amp trickle charge for 12 hours.
Read the label on the battery and it is an Exide Orbital AGM cell battery.
Called Exide and they say you have to have a special charger for that battery.
I asked for a list of compatible chargers and they said I would have to contact battery charger companies and check for my self.

Is the 20 mili-amp drain acceptable on a 93 Deville?
