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.

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:)

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. |
