I have a question... I was driving my car yesterday and my battery was dead, but this was the third battery that ive bought in the past two weeks..When I cut my car off if i dont unhook the battery the battery gets drained, do you know what the problem could be?
u may have hooked something up that is still drawing current off of ur battery even though ur car is off best thing to do is check ur fuse for power when ignition is off.. to see wat is causing the drain another thing is maybe ur alternator maynot be charging ur battery enough.. check for voltage and current regularities.. charging voltage for the alternator should be 14 volts not sure on amperes cos dont know wat kind u got..
you need to have VAT-40 testing done
should be like 50 bucks, then if you need repairs, wow expensive! Do you have an amp hooked to the battery, if you dont put it on a switch, it will drain the battery!
WHOA back up....Alright you said that if i had an amp hooked str8 up to the battery then it would drain it right? Well on the positive cable of the battery there is a little case and it has a 30 amp 80 amp and then a 40 from left to right, its hooked up directly to the positive cable....I will take a picture of it and put it on here...

As long as your remote signal to turn on the amp is hooked up to the stereo and not a constant positive, then you're okay. If you got it installed professionally, then most likely it's not the amps...I don't see how a professional could make a mistake like that.
