having a problem with my system
im getting way to much current draw and its draining my battery constantly
whats the best way to fix this problem

are you sure? do you know its your "system" for sure?

keep an ammeter in series with the battery and disconnect components until the draw stops, easy :)

What kind of system do you have in it and what kind of battery,

Could be
Might be from a dodgy power cable join somewhere
This happened to me before, made a brand new battery last a week
Fixed the fault and all was sweet again
Not saying it's the case here, but yeah start unplugging things until draw stops as tuff said

installing a stinger 2 fared campacitor is going to help, if you have a big install with a couple of high output amps then then a standard batt normally doesnt last to long.. because it cant keep up with the power drain of the amps..

Also your altanator might be playing up? or theres a positive wire earthing out some where in the car... or theres coming connected thats always on?

hope that helps mate

lol, You do not need a cap if other stuff is done right, all caps do is look pretty and cause fires
Best things to do is: Run thicker power cable, Get a optima or similar battery, Upgrade grounding cables (4ga minimun, 0ga from battery to chassy) or get a bigger alternator (Bosch replacement alternator is 120amps compared to the 110amp stock alternator)

Er no...The best thing to do is find the cause of the power draw. Putting in a bigger battery will do sweet FA. if something is drawing current while the battery is off, it'll do it with whatever battery is in there

thanks for the help
found the problem
one of my power cables was realy loose so i tightend it up and all seems fine now
