THough my car may sit for a month at a time. Is this commom? I have a stock alarm and stock stereo, I can't imagine these draining the battery. Maybe though... I suppose I could dissconnect he negative terminal while it sits. What is the life of a battery that sits? I am "F"ing up my battery by jumping it or letting the alternator keep recharging it? I hear the alternator will rapid charge the battery, shortening the life of the battery and the alternator... :BangHead:I know, I know, I need to drive my car more. And I know some of you are willing to do it for me. LOLAnyway, teach this moron a thing or two about batteries! Thanks! :dontknow:</blockquote>
