Why does your battery gauge go down when braking and car shuts off and blinker also makes a different faster noise?
Suspect low battery reserve (almost dead), alternator may not be recharging battery either due to low battery level insuffucient to energize alternator field windings or alternator/wire fault probable causing low battery in first place. Battery volt meter drops because alternator not recharging, Flasher speeds up when load drops through flasher, engine stalls because insufficent reserve on battery to run engine electronics. If battery ok to start motor: then suspect fault/connection in power wire to engine bay electronics or alternator. initial starting point from my diagnostic point of view

Dead cell in the battery, defective alternator not recharging the battery, or something is on pulling power from the battery. Dome light, glove box, under hood, trunk, brake light, any light that is on. Also a stuck relay can drain the battery.
What should you do if your car factory car stereo is draining your car battery?
While the car is running the alternator should be recharging the battery faster than stereo can drain it. I suspect you either have a problem with the alternator or its time to get your battery replaced. Until you get it fixed, if you don't turn on the radio, it wont drain your battery :) If it is a high power model, it needs to be wired directly to the battery.
How long should jump-leads be left on a dead battery before it will be fully charged?
Recharging a dead battery by using jumper cables connected to another vehicle is a very bad idea. You are overworking the alternator on the donor vehicle and can very well destroy that alternator. Recharge a dead battery with a battery charger and never with another vehicle.
