Hey, i've got a '94 corolla hatch(sedan) and i'm having trouble with my batteries. Whenever I decide to go for a drive, I can't because my battery is dead. I could drive it one day and the next day it's dead again. So i have to recharge it quite often. This is the 3rd battery in 2-3 months and I still don't know how to fix it. I think it may be the alarm that is draining it, but i'm not sure.. Anyone know of anything to help?

Have you had the alternator checked?

and while your at it, check the wires that run from the alternator to the battery, if they are corroded, you wont get a charge.

Yes, it could be the alarm, as I've seen it occur before. Another possibility is the antenna lead to the radio, which may cause a current drain from the battery.
