I'll try that when I get a chance, just dont have a voltmeter handy. But I never had a problem with my system before so its wierd that all of a sudden its doing this. The reason I thought it might of been the foglight relay is because one burned out on me so I had to replace it and thats when the problems started.

Audio components can go bad. A bad cap could discharge your battery pretty fast.

Capacitors don't just "turn off". Capacitors store energy for quick discharge and recovery. You can go ahead and do what you want though. Replace your battery if you feel it's necessary.
FYI, there's already a thread about batteries. You should have posted in there instead of creating a new thread. Then again, you posted about an electrical problem in the Stock Motors, Transmission, & Maintenance forum instead of the appropriate Alarms, Wiring, Harnesses, & Other Electrical Upgrades forum. I'm guessing you probably didn't bother to research first.

You may have missed this post. If you really want to waste the money on the Optima name with half the quality, go for it.

Optima isn't as good as it used to be.
This is a topic has already been discussed and this thread should have never been created. I'm lumping this into the existing battery thread.

No worries. They shouldn't have been in there to begin with so it got cleaned up. Don't sweat it dude.

hey umm the last couple of days ive been having trouble with starting my car. Battery keeps going dead everytime i park it for a couple of hours. I know the alternator is fine cuz it has never died on me while i was driving. I took it to autozone and they said the battery is 100%
I did just get an audio system put in a month ago.
