Why is my car battery dying so quickly after buying a new car?
Quote from ScanToolGuru on June 18, 2025, 10:40 amI recently bought a brand-new car, and within a few days, I’ve noticed the battery keeps dying even after a full charge. I’m not running any extra accessories, and everything is stock. What could be causing this? Is it normal in a new car? Any suggestions will help!

Quote from CheckEngineChamp on June 19, 2025, 11:06 amEven a new car battery can drain quickly if there’s a parasitic draw (like a faulty module or light staying on), charging system issue, or loose connection. It’s best to check for any electrical drains and test the alternator to be sure the battery is being properly charged.
