My FJ is a weekend driver. Sometimes I'll go 2 to 3 weeks without driving it and it usually has a problem starting after this time. I have a battery tender but don't want to have to hook it up after every weekend of driving. I don't think 2 to 3 weeks of sitting should kill a battery and it doesn't get very cold here in Houston.
Anyhow, my question: what could be causing the battery to drain so quickly? This is the second battery that's done this. The only thing I can think of that requires power when off is the radio, but I wouldn't think it takes much just to keep the clock and station memory. Are there any other components/wires I should look at that could be causing the problem? The terminals are clean with no corrosion. Thanks for any help. - Matt
