Dead battery

Asked by Brittany Nov 25, 2017 at 07:06 AM about the 2007 Dodge Charger SE RWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Im gonna make this as detailed as possible. 6
months ago my speakers stopped working and my
after market radio that came with the car 3 years
ago was acting funny. 4 months ago my battery
died. I replaced it and was fine until someone said
they could put the new radio I got, which was a
Sony. After two days my battery died. I made sure i
turned off my radio every time I left the vehicle.
And even let my car sit in idle for a little bit with the
radio, and lights off so the battery could recharge a
couple of times a week. I had a 3 year warranty so
they gave me a new battery and the person who
put  the radio in unplugged the wires from the radio
but left the wires that connect the radio
(installation kit I believe) to my car cords plugged
in.  A week later my second new battery was dead.
I unplugged those wires and am wondering if I get
my battery recharged  at auto zone and put it in
now will it be fine? Or should i just get a whole new
battery? Or is there possibly another issue im
missing? I was also gonna try to unplug the amp
as well.

It is likely that if the radio and the amplifier is wired properly that the battery drain will disappear and the battery will hold it's charge.
