Nothing was done with the battery during installation. The battery is brand new and all terminals are tight. The back cigarette plug pulls too much power (how is burnt up a cell phone battery while charging). Also there is no reason the sirius radio should pull enough power to kill a battery. I have a pick-up and my sirius is installed exactly the same and have no problems with it pulling power. Replies to this message: ray80 (Dec 27, 2007 1:00 pm)

If the call phone charger was plugged in also and hot connection , that would add to it. I think if the voltage from battery got low enough, it could cook the charger. Is the battery you got a reasonably good one (reserve power and all that) or was it a less exspensive one that might falter sooner with constant load?
