voltage draw

[Guest 95path addict]

Does anyone know what the limit is on voltage draw , battery keeps going

down if it sits for 6-7 days .

do you mabey have a car starter? BOTH my parents cars have died if they sit for a week..they both have car starters. I have never had problems with voltage draw when mine sits for 10days or so.

I had a power wire from the stereo grounding out in one of my old cars do that. Aftermarket alarms, cigarette lighter, frayed 12v lines...stuff like that can do it. You could put a meter on the battery and start pulling fuses under the dash until you find the problem. Or it could just be that the battery isn't holding a charge. Most auto parts stores will test it for free.

It could be any number of things, and what do you mean by "limit"? The battery should have no drain at all if everything's turned off, minus the alarm(if so equipped).
