testing the car for current draw?

is there a way to test the car for current draw? my battery keeps draining itself, more so now that it is cold outside. would a bad alternator drain the battey, even when the car was off?

yeah is it an Optima or some other high-end brand?? if its not, maybe since you have tons of accesspries theres too much draw and the battery can't recharge properly....

Dude! Two things...1)Lay off the crack, it makes you really aggressive, and 2)How did you get those dandy swear words to show up? Whenever I type profanities, it "bleeps" them out. Not that I'd want to type profanities........

Jonathan......if your battery is the one with vent holes, make sure you top off each individual cell with DISTILLED water.

If its a DIEHARD, then you should know better, I can't help you further.

And don't take Brandon seriously, he was just kidding.
