battery keeps dying ..i need suggestions
well my battery keeps on dying and i keep recharging it. at first i thought it was just a bad battery but i didnt have funds to buy a new one and kept charging the battery overnight. when i got the money i purchased a new duralast gold from autozone and it worked fine until today in the morning. usually it took a fully charged battery two days to discharge on this car. so i wanna know where i should start looking to see where im getting drained from.
i recently did the led swap to all my internal lights dash, overhead, shifter, hvac controls, and trunk. could this be a problem? also i have no radio but my fuse was still plugged in. all the fuses are intact but kinda old, like they look foggy on the terminals. should i replace them all with new fuses?
lemme know what you guys think i should do to keep my birdy alive

It seems like the alternator. grab a volt meter and check the voltage of the battery by itself and then check the voltage with the car running, It should have over 13v.

Re: battery keeps dying ..i need suggestions
yea it runs like at 14 volts while running and sitting its like a lil over 12 volts. my alternators not bad since its brand new. i found one bad fuse possibly it was that?
i checked my two spots in the fuse spot and the secret fuse spot to the right of the other.
could it have been that one fuse?
is there another place i should be checking for fuses or is it those only two spots?
