I just installed my fucking system the day before yesterday and I bought a new 200$ battery and the fucking bitch at Kragen Auto Parts said it'll last like 1-2 years if it's for a system well I just fucking installed it and only used it for like an hour or two all together and the fucking battery is fucking already fucking gone fucking.
What do you mean I have too much draw? And how do you charge it up as I drive?
Btw I have 2, one for car and one for the system (the one that died/needs recharged).
Your altenator charges the battery continously, as long as your car is running. When in Accessory / Accessory II, your car runs off the battery, nothing is charging it. So if you are listening to it with the car off then your battery will die relatively quick depending on how much power your system is "drawing" from the battery.
That's what he meant by "too much draw".
BUT if the battery died while the car was ON then that means you probably need a heavier duty altenator to charge the battery at a faster rate.
Edit:
I should learn to read friggin' replies before I hit reply. :/ Guess you've already been helped.
Maybe tonight we'll fly so far away... We'll be lost before the dawn...

I dunno, I didn't installed it. I just went to Kragen and was like "Gimme the biggest, baddest mothafucker on the shelf". Then I took it to the audio place to install it (took like 2-3 days), and I asked the guy over there how long the battery would last and he said I should recharge it/buy a new one right then. What I don't get is what could've made it fuck up so quick.
