The car is running find and all, nothing seems wrong with the car. However, something is seriously draining the hell out of the battery. I dont use it for two days and the moment I try to, the battery is gone. I've jump started the car many times now.

What could be the problem? When I turned the car off, I made sure nothing was on. Except the alarm but I'm pretty sure that that cannot be it.

Thanks in advance

PS - Battery is Brand New - Sorry I posted this under the wrong category

I've got the exact same problem:(......i've jump start it today after being off for just 2 days......i've replaced the battery 2 times ......every time it worked fine for about 2 months on new battery.......someone suggested that maybe the amplifier(800 watts - no capacitor) may drain the battery.......but that's off when the car is......so it must be something else......please post whatever news you have......thank you:)

I Pmed you with my situation, do a test on each component, especially on aftermarket parts you've installed. Alternator, fuses, and any component that may have gone bad inside your car. Many times it's bad grounding that leads to this problem that I had on mine. Buying a new battery all the time is gonna eat up your cash, dude, if your not using your car for more than a day, disconnect the negative side of the battery so it doesnt get drained. It's a temporary way to prevent drainage and will save you money.
