Battery help please!!
I need some help. If I leave my car sit for a few weeks, the battery dies.
I read a post here about a similar issue, and there was a response posted that told how to test to see if the battery was draining when the car is turned off. Something about a volt meter and disconnecting the positive terminal. They also told which fuse to pull to test if it was the power seat draining the battery.
I can't relocate that post, so if someone would be so kind to tell me how to test it again, it would be appreciated. Thanks.

If you let the car set for weeks, the battery is going to die.
Get a battery tender.
I have the Deltran waterproof battery tender, it can be purchased for around 25 bucks.
