Why would my radio drain my battery?
Your battery doesn’t have much to do in that case. This will give you an idea of why your car stereo may be draining the battery. In most cases, it is because there’s a wiring issue, a bad radio fuse, an old or new stereo poorly connected, or an overpowered piece consuming energy even when off.

What should I do if my car battery is draining?
If battery is maintenance free cut off the 3 cell cover and inspect the electrolyte charge and level. With the battery test and known good, hook up in the car with clean terminals, no grease. A helper may be needed. With a cold engine, and with a voltmeter at 20 VDC, read the meter as the motor is started.
Why does my battery drain in the winter?
A new battery at 400 CCA at 11V will not deliver this same CCA. If the battery is not charged enough it will not deliver its amps. Depending on the age of your car, the starter may also be suspect. Winter is a killer, At 0C, 32 F a new battery is about 20-30 % depleted just being in the cold and the colder it is the worse it gets.
