Your car doesn’t start. You bring it into your local auto garage in Cincinnati. We charge it up, and you’re good to go. But the next day it happens again. You’ve got parasitic power loss, my friend, otherwise known as a slow battery drain. This usually happens when some component, say a glove box light, an amplifier, a radio, is pulling power from the battery when it shouldn’t. Battery drains are definitely annoying because they can be hard to narrow down. That’s why so many car electrical specialists are bald, BTW. We can give you a free battery test to try to diagnose the problem. In extreme cases, we’ve even been known to put an on/off switch on the battery. We tend to save this last resort for beater mobiles you save for your teenager.
