Car Battery Problem on a 05 Chevy Cobalt.?

Battery losses charge easily. I've change battery and replaced alternator yet the battery still losing charge. I've have installed a car stereo and headlights.Car Battery Problem on a 05 Chevy Cobalt.?Check your glove box light or trunk light to see if they are going out. Something is staying on in the vehicle.Some cars have a light under the hood also. A cell phone charger can drain a battery if left for 24 hours or more.Satellite radios too.

It sounds like something is draining your battery while the car is off. If you have a stereo system installed, are your aftermarket amps wired into a switched power line? If your amps are wired to a constantly %26quot;hot%26quot; wire, then your amps will remain on and drain the battery. You can get around this by installing a power switch in the line(s) to the amp(s), or by wiring them to a switched power line (a line that only becomes %26quot;hot%26quot; when the ignition is on.



Otherwise, your alternator may not be installed properly or another electrical component may be remaining on while the car is off.
