Use of the side and rear hatch doors have a dramatic drain on the battery. We have found that whenever we go on trips, or camping, where the doors are frequently opened and closed, the car the battery will drain. So far, our only solution is to disconnect the battery when the car will not be driven or charged between frequent door use.

How do you listen to radio without running battery down?

Turn the ignition key to the accessory position which is normally counterclockwise. Only the radio will be drawing power. If you have a good battery you could listen for a couple of hours without running the battery down. Any longer and the battery may go dead. Make sure that the headlights are off; these may still remain on when the key is in the accessory position. Headlights will drain the battery very quickly. It may also be advisable to run the engine for a few minutes every half-hour or so, to recharge the battery.
