1990 300zx will not stop draining batteries after a day or two Alternator is charging good what would be drawing so much power after the car is off?

Have your vehicle checked for a parasitic drain at a service center.

Why do hoist batteries get hot?
When Batteries Get HOTAll batteries when drawing power out [or charging], at a very high rate are working hard, and when work is done, everything get warmer!!!!!
Why wont your battery hold a charge?
Could be the life of the battery has expired or the charging system is faulty or the vehicle has a draw on the system killing the battery when not running. Drive the vehicle to your local auto parts store. They will test the battery and the charging system at no cost. Battery is bad or something is draining it. Most places that sell batteries can check it. With it charged, disconnect it and see if it holds a charge. If it does, something in the car is draining it. Dead cell in the battery or something is on drawing power from the battery.
Why would a alternator be drawing all the time?
your alternator my be going out
What can cause the alternator cable drawing current from the battery on a 2003 beetle. the alternator has already been changed.?
Disconnect the cable from the alternator and see if that stops the draw. If it does, the alternator may be defective. Otherwise there may be something else drawing current.
Why is a good starting engine now not starting on the first turn Sounds like it stops while turning over 2004 Taurus?
The first place I'd start would be the battery, alternator and starter. Verify that the battery is good and that the alternator is fully charging it, and that the starter isn't drawing too much current.
What could be draining your battery on a 1993 ford probe gt its a new good battery and holds a charge and the alternator is good something seems to be drawing power when the engine is off?
It could be any number of things, from a faulty diode inside the alternator (the alternator could be working reasonably well but still have a bad diode) to a sticking relay. Sometimes those types of problems can be difficult to find, especially since they are often intermittent.
Why does your focus shake when the engine fan comes one when you are in stop and go traffic?
I would suspect an electrical problem. Have the electrical charging system checked. You may have an alternator that is going bad. If could also be the fan is going bad and drawing too much current.
1998 Mitsubishi mirage not charging belt tension ok new battery new terminal ends checked for shorts and replaced alternator 6 times the charging indicator light does not come on at all any ideas?
It could be that it's charging OK and you've got some kind of electrical load drawing the battery down when the key is off. If a charging system analysis confirms that it is not charging, then you've got to go back to the alternator and start there. Use your multimeter to BE ABSOLUTELY SURE it is putting out 13.8 volts. I seen them put out 12 volts, which will keep the charging light out but not replenish the battery. If that's ok, go over all the wiring with a fire tooth comb. Any corrosion? Any partially broken wires? Is the voltage regulator contained in the battery or is on the fender wall? Does your charging indicator come on when you turn the key to RUN without starting the engine?
What would cause the battery to run down on a Mitsubishi Mirage?
If you mean the battery goes dead, maybe you need a new battery. Either that or something's drawing it dead. ie: a light staying on someplace (glovebox, trunk light...), bad charging system, etc. Probably the alternator.
2000 Mazda B2500 still getting low voltage to battery after battery and alternator change and double checking alternator voltage output twice 15amps?
I will be honest I am not fluent with the yr model however the electrical voltage and wiring and charging and output I am!I would try by cleaning the ground wire from the battery to each point it connects.I would also take a meter to check with the truck (key off) and check for a parasitic draw.That means like is your dome light staying on,or if the radio is aftermarket version may be draining the battery as well.If the terminals or rather the metal connectors on the battery positive,and the alternator connectors are clean,no corrosion would reduce the charging of the battery.It would only seem to me it is a bad ground overall,And would remove the each connection for the ground cable from the battery to each point clean it with a wire brush,and tighten.Unless something electrical such as the radio head unit (aftermarket versions) is drawing amps and draining the system,or this model has something else that draws current dome lamps,door switch not all the way in but pulls enuff to drain it down I do not know.Being you changed the two items would point to bad ground connections,or a parasite draw over time draining the system in most cases or even a weak battery cable,alternator wire or wires.Hope this helps.
How can i stop using my phone when it is charging?
You can stop using your phone when it is charging by finding other things to do during that time. Just keep telling yourself that you can do this.
