Thanks for the tip. I don't know how to do that exactly I'll research it.

But does the battery use that much juice when the car is turned off? In my accord nothing stays on with the exception of the tiny digital clock, which isn't even backlit.

I was assuming the issue is that the battery doesn't get fully recharged when the car is driven. It is driven only once in a while, and when it is driven, it only goes short distances.
