Going Through Batteries
My friend has a 1996 Honda Accord, 4 cylinder, auto transmission. It requires a new battery every six months to a year. My theory so far is that there's a drain on the battery from some unobvious switch that is stuck in the on position. The battery repeatedly drains and re-charges, reducing its life. Any ideas on how to troubleshoot this? My Craftsman digital multimeter is at my side.

tamboo link is good. If you want to view some videos there are some good YouTube videos on this as well. Scotty Kilmer "Fixing battery drain in your car" and Ericthecarguy "How to perform a parasitic draw test"
