You have a short somewhere try taking one fuse out at a time until you find the right circuit

SOURCE: 1998 Avalon XLS battery drain

Does The car shut off mid drive? Could be a Wiring harness problem,
I think it's you're alternator though, That would be a good reason you're battery is dieing,

How do you get the car started again?

SOURCE: My battery in my 2002 gmc envoy dies over night

Check and make sure nothing is staying on ie. lights. Check the cells on your battery to make sure they are good. It is possible the battery isn't holding a charge.

SOURCE: 2001 Mercury villager battery drains after 2 days. New battery, alternator and starter. Something is causing a constant drain any one know if this is common?

Not common to your car in particular, but common.
Unhook your battery each night to keep from draining the battery whilst you search out the problem.
Put a test meter between the battery and the cable you took off to see how much of a short there is.
Some things that I have found were:
1) Some new replacement radios will drain a battery because they are on all the time, like most television sets today.
2) I have a car, (and have had a few more) that the glove box , (being plastic) was warped, and the glove box light stayed on all the time. I had to remove the bulb.
3) An alarm system, and some are factory built in, can drain a battery.
4) A trunk light, an under-the-hood light, or something else can do this.
Be blessed.

Something keeps draining the battery on our 2004 dodge ram. the battery is new. it stays charged for 5 or 6 hours then it goes completely dead.

then you need to start doing the process of elimination. you can either pull out fuses and see if it stops the drain.pull out 2 or 3 at the time to save time. if it stops the drain. reinsert one at the time till the drain starts again. then you will know approximately where the drain is .. or you may also use a measuring device to see how much amperage is passing through the fuses... you are looking for around 9 or 10 amp drain if you loose a battery in 5-6 hrs .

i reccomend using a measuring device (multimeter or voltmeter) as it is a much better way to locate where the drain is.

youtuube videos are useful source for info about checking for the drains for first timers

Why does battery drain ?

there are several reasons...not enough cells in a weak battery(not enough cold cranking amps in battery to turn the car over). Check your alternator as well. Does the temperature drop? Sounds like you need a new battery(also when you turn off your car- TURN OFF EVERYTHING...sometimes a radio, or something not turned off(even a trunk light, interior light, security system(various things)- can zap the juice from your battery overnight or within hrs.-leaving not enough to start the car the next day....Hope that helps....Xx, Jasmine

I recently had a battery drain and suspected that my radio had a short or was causing the drain i then removed the fuse Radio Bcm and the monitor maintenance is off along with the dash air condition...

I recently bought an iPad Air, and I'd like to use Kinkoo portable charger which I bought from: http://www.ikinkoo.com/shop/portable-charger/kinkoo-infinite-one-8000mah.html to charge it. I found Kinkoo can charge my iPad rapidly, only cost a few hours to charge it from 5% to 100%. Works perfectly than I expected.

Something is draining my battery usually within hours, have a new alternator been checked, passes all diagnostics at the shop for a week, brought it to work and battery was drained by the end of my shift,...

The car alarm does not really consume that much power unless it is always triggered. Check the wiring first if there are loose connection or short caused by exposed conductor or bad terminals that may just need cleaning.
If you have a multimeter you can use that while the car is turned offto trace where the current is the strongest, that is where the drain is.

Have installed new batteries. New Alternator. After leaving 04 duramax parked for 3 days electronics are dead. Batteries were fully charged prior to parking the truck.

There is a very good possibility that there is a short in the wiring that is causing the battery to be drained when it is off. There are a few auto parts stores that can do a complete electrical system check and they can test the battery drain when the car is off. These problems are usually caused by a faulty relay which leaves a component on when the vehicle is off. Or there can be a wire shorting. However, finding a short is often like chasing ghosts. I would recommend going to advance auto. The electrical scanner they have there can detect battery draining.

1988 318i can be jump started but will drain any new battery if left inoperable for more than a few hrs. Have checked fuses, changed batteries, and disconnectd all stereo equipt. Help...

a serious drain you have going there, use a ohm meter and measure between the chassis and the reciving end of the fuse,(not the side connected to the + of the battery, ) if the resistance is very low on one, you have a short in that cirquit, look for anything close to or below 1.2 ohm (equals 10A, or approx 5 hrs on a fully charged new 60 Ah battery)
