Yes, headlights drain battery power, but it is only major if you leave them on when you turn the car off, because the car might not start up after a bit.

Why would Using your Headlights Drain the Battery?
If your electrical system is working as it should, using your headlights will not drain the battery. Of course that is assuming your engine is running. More than likely your alternator is not putting out enough voltage to keep the battery charged with the headlights on. Take your car to a trusted mechanic or auto parts store and have your charging system checked. You may need a new alternator. A loose drive belt can also cause this so make sure the belt is in good working order and adjusted correctly.

Does the hold button drain your iPod's battery?
Actually doing ANYTHING on your ipod touch whether it be listening to music, or pressing some buttons will drain the ipod battery. some things drain less battery then other things, but they all drain battery. (for example, listening to music does not drain as much battery as watching a video.) I do not know any buttons on the ipod touch called the hold button, but if you are talking about the button in the front with a square on it, that does not drain battery. if you keep holding it, a whole lot of options might open, but it does not drain battery. If it DOES drain battery, its so small of a drain that you won't notice it and it won't impact your ipod's performance
