A burnt rubber smell in conjunction with a draining car battery could indicate several issues. It might be due to a malfunctioning alternator, which can cause the battery to overcharge and produce heat, leading to a burnt rubber smell from the wiring or insulation. Additionally, a short circuit or damaged wiring could generate heat and the burnt rubber odor while draining the battery. It's advisable to have the car inspected by a professional to diagnose and resolve the issue safely.

Can a loose positive battery cable prevent the alternator from charging the batter and can it cause a battery drain while the engine is not running?
Yes, a loose battery cable will prevent the alternator from charging the battery. The drain on the battery is not caused by the engine not running unless an accessory is left on. Most likely, the drain is caused by accessories (radio, lights, etc) while the engine is running due to the battery not receiving its charge from the alternator and then not having enough charge left to start the engine.

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.
