How do you listen to radio without running battery down?
Turn the ignition key to the accessory position which is normally counterclockwise. Only the radio will be drawing power. If you have a good battery you could listen for a couple of hours without running the battery down. Any longer and the battery may go dead. Make sure that the headlights are off; these may still remain on when the key is in the accessory position. Headlights will drain the battery very quickly. It may also be advisable to run the engine for a few minutes every half-hour or so, to recharge the battery.

You need to get the battery tested to see if it will hold a charge.You can try to jump start it using another battery. If it will not start this way,try charging the battery first before going on to the starter. If it turns out to be the starter, you can have it rebuilt. This can run about 20.00-40.00.

No. A car radio uses so little power that it is completely impossible for it to even run down your battery a little bit.

Now if you are referring to the clock on the radio, then that uses very little power and it will take a long time for it to run the battery down. If your battery is running down overnight and the radio is not on playing music, look for some light somewhere that is on. Trunk, under-hood, curtorsey, glove box, dome, etc. It can also be a relay that is stuck. Lastly the battery itself can have a dead cell which will run the battery down overnight. To find out disconnect the negative battery cable overnight. If the battery is dead in the morning, replace it as it has a dead cell.
