lexlover1 Posted June 3, 2006 Posted June 3, 2006 I have a 93 300. All was fine for the last year now all of a sudden something is killing my battery with everything turned off. Anyone ever had this problem on an early ES model? Battery is just a year old and will hold a charge if left disconnected. Thanks for any replies in advance.

Never had this issue with my old-school 98 but I know there is a way to see what is draining the battery; just can't remember. Maybe a search. I will look since I would like to know and help ya out.
SKperformance Posted June 3, 2006 Posted June 3, 2006 It can be from a few things. The battery may not be fully charged when the car is turned off. You need a volt meter to look for charging voltage as well as any drains when the car is off.

I fully charged the battery and it will stay fully charged but will only last a few days when hooked up. I have a volt meter, just not sure how to check how much drain is coming out of it., car is charging great when running.

Toysrme Posted June 9, 2006 Posted June 9, 2006 Multi-meter time. Aftermarket stereo's & AMPS are the #1 cause. If it's an unsealed battery, check the fluid level & always pull the temrinals off regardless of how good they look on the outside.
