Current draw on battery, possibly glowshift gauges? - Toyota Yaris Forums

Interesting my HB is one year old and the battery did the same thing, I have gauges also and a stereo amp +++ and an alarm system. The battery would keep going dead. I realize that the alarm pulls current but not that much. I finally put the battery under and extreme test and found that one of the cells in the battery was shorting out and draining the battery. They must use cheap batterys in the factory install. It gave me the excuse to put in a yellow top, even though they cost 3 times as much.
