Yes, phone batteries can drain faster in cold weather due to the decrease in battery efficiency and capacity in low temperatures.
Yes, batteries can drain faster in cold weather due to the decrease in chemical reactions that generate electricity.
No it will actually drain faster. I have done it with every electronic there is.
Either the battery has a dead cell and needs replacing or something is pulling power from the battery when the engine is off. I had a problem with my 1986 Cadillac DeVille where the power antenna was stuck and the motor would run all night trying to lower the antenna. To resolve the problem I just removed the fuse for the power antenna motor.
Check your battery terminals. If there is a loose connection or corrosion on the terminals it can cause the brake booster to malfunction due to lack of power to the vacuum sensor.
Batteries drain faster in the cold because the chemical reactions that generate electricity inside the battery slow down in low temperatures. This reduces the battery's ability to deliver power efficiently, causing it to lose charge more quickly.
Almost anything. On newer model vehicles, the engine's computer drains the battery constantly, as does the stereo. Short circuits can cause a drain. Any electrical system that is left on will drain the battery. Even a disconnected battery will lose charge over time and the older the battery, the faster it drains. Also a battery with a dead cell will discharge itself, usually overnight.
Just unplug it and leave it on. To make it drain faster, run programs that make the computer have to work harder, like windows media player.
No, a bad coil will not drain the battery.
While the car is running the alternator should be recharging the battery faster than stereo can drain it. I suspect you either have a problem with the alternator or its time to get your battery replaced. Until you get it fixed, if you don't turn on the radio, it wont drain your battery :) If it is a high power model, it needs to be wired directly to the battery.
Either something is stuck on like interior lights or there is a short inside the battery. Have the battery checked Just wanted to add my experience. If no lights are left on, that you can see, then check the light in the glove box. My light stayed on and it took me a month before I figured it out because you can't see it when the door is closed. Instead of fixing the switch I just took out the bulb. In my 1986 Cadillac DeVille I had a problem where my electric antenna was stuck, and the motor would run all night trying to lower the antenna. That would drain the battery. Once I noticed the hum of the antenna motor, I figured it out and removed the fuse for the antenna motor. Still trying to find a replacement part...
Yes you sure can. It is a myth that sitting a battery on concrete will drain the battery. It will not drain it at all.
