    If your doing that with the car off, then yeah it will drain the battery quickly.

    If its with the car off, sounds like you have a bad ground somewhere thats draining the battery.

    no i dont like gettin ones from autozone they dont put out as many amps as the factory one does, an plus its cheaper to get it rebuilt.

    i found out what the problem was i went an got the alt checked again an he said that its good nothin wrong with it an told me to check a few things so i did an what it was is that i blew a fuse, i guess last week i was riding hella low an hit the metal on a bridge an blew it somehow but thats all that it was was a damn fuse.
