Battery tests 'unstable' when car is running, but tests 'okay' when not? This means that the root of the problem is occurring when the engine is running ... check the alternator or voltage regulator ... either one may need to be replaced or repaired.
The glove box light is so low in current draw that it would take weeks upon weeks to totally drain the battery. On most cars (for certain my '04 Jetta) built in the past 5 years, the glove box light only works when the engine is running.

Why do you not get battery symbol on your laptop sometimes after you on power supply in your laptop made by Toshiba model no A200?
Note: When interconnecting A200 batteries (cells), they must be identical in voltage and amp rating! Batteries may be connected in series. The positive terminal of the first battery is connected to the negative terminal of the second battery; the positive terminal of the second is connected to the negative of the third, and so on. The voltage of the assembled battery is the sum of the individual batteries. The batteries are connected: + to - to + to - to + to -, etc. The capacity of the battery is unchanged. Batteries may also be connected in parallel. The positive terminal of the first battery is connected to the positive terminal of the second battery, the positive terminal of the second is connected to the positive of the third; the negative terminal of the first battery is connected to the negative terminal of the second battery, the negative terminal of the second is connected to the negative of the third and so on. The batteries are connected: + to + to + and - to - to -. In this configuration, the capacity is the sum of the individual batteries and voltage is unchanged.

Can you charge a 12 volt battery with a 24 volt charger?
I can if I charge 2 of them at a time. Most 24 volt chargers also have a 12 volt setting. What is hard to find is a 32 volt charger. We can charge a 12V battery with 24V charger, by connecting two 12V batteries in series i. e. the negative terminal of the first battery is connected to the positive terminal of the second, now the charger positive terminal is connected to the first battery positive terminal and the negative terminal of the charger is connected to the negative terminal of the second battery.
Can a wire connected across a battery's terminal produce current?
Yes
How do you jump start two 12 batteries?
To jump start an engine via the battery; the remote battery and the host battery, being of the same voltage, should be connected in parallel. That is positive terminal to positive terminal, negative to negative.
What does forward bias on a diode?
when the positive terminal of the battery is connected to the positive terminal of the diode it is said to be in forward bias
How do you replace battery terminal on a 1999 Mercury Sable?
A battery terminal or a battery CABLE terminal. If the terminal is gone or destroyed on the battery, you need a new battery. If the cable terminal is terminal, you can buy an after market replacement or a complete new cable with terminal at most any auto parts store.
What are positive ground cars?
Cars in which the positive terminal of the battery is connected to the chassis. They require specially designed components built for positive ground cars. The usual configuration is a negative ground (the negative battery terminal connected to the car's chassis).
