how do u find or fix a short in the battery? is it in the connections like that arent grounded properly or what? After my car sits for a day or two the battery is dead so i kinda need to fix this rather than charge it whenever i wanna drive it....speedy answers appreciated

 

?
edit...wow i just did some searching and this might be more complex than what i figured,im going to try to get new connections and make em nice and tight and then if that dont work then have my mechanic friend look at it.

 

Disconnect one of your batter cables. Then take a voltmeter stick one probe on the loose cable & the other on the battery post.

With the engine off & all doors closed etc.. there shouldn't be (hardly) any current flow. Just small stuff like the digital clock keeping track of the time etc..

Actually if you have an ampmeter it'd be a better tool here than a voltmeter, but hardly noone ever has an amp meter handy
