battery keeps dying..Help!!!

ebash03 · February 25th, 2008, 01:10 PM

Hey there,

So yesterday was the 3rd time in 4 months I had to get a new battery because it was completely dead

. I'v checked the alternator, and the batteries have been fine because they were brand new. The only electrical work done to it is a CA-670 code alarm, and nothing else. It only dies when I don't drive it for a couple of days(even though I turn it on and leave it on for at least 15 minutes every day). I bought the car last spring, so during the summer I drove it everyday so no problem. During the fall/winter though it's been pain. Any ideas on what I could do? Could it be that the alarm wasn't installed the right way? Thanks

could be the alarm but first notion would be alternator

sounds like the alternator's not charging it. take it to Advance Auto Parts and have them test the alt and battery. it's free, too...

the alternator was the first thing I checked, and it turned out to be fine, then i got a new battery and that died too. the only thing i can think of right now is the alarm
