My car is drained out I have a 1995 Z28 and whenever i park the car for 2-3 days, my battery becomes flat. I put a brand new battery less then a year ago from Sears (Die hard gold) Anyone know what can be causing this? I don't have an alarm or any amp hooked up to my car. No devices whatsoever and looks like the alternator is fine.

To eliminate the battery as the problem bring it back to Sears and have them load test it - if it's bad they'll give you full credit towards another one or replace it free. I had a diehard gold in mine and barely lasted 2 years in Florida. Also be sure it's the right CCA, the one they sold me was a 550 and my helms says it calls for a 690. I just put the credit towards an Optima.

Sounds like u got power source staying on when the cars is off! First thing double check all battery connections, then at night shut off all light,power acc,etc... then look and c if u can notice anything on like glove box light, trunk light, radio etc... also do all ur window motors work, ive ran in to one of those somehow draining a battery! Hope this helps ya!!!

I'm having hard time with the window motor. But whats that got to do with anything? Once the car is shut off, how can a window motor drain out the battery?

This was on a nissan sentra when i had probs with the window motor draining the battery, i guess when the motor locked up it grounded the connections together therefor staying on 24-7 the motor would turn cherry red, thats how much drain it put on the battery! Prob not ur problem but i would still check for acc. staying on!
