Hi Ruben, 2mA could be an LED that you have turned on. If you have a telosb mote and you have recently programmed it or communicated over USB, then the USB circuitry could be turned on. If you have a sensor board connected, maybe it is using power (most sensor boards have options for explicitly turning of sensors).
To make further guesses, we would need additional information: - What hardware do you use (mote, sensors, programming board)? - What is your test setup? (is the power measured over the battery connector or some other connector?)
