Default battery

Sup ppl,

I'm having a problem with my battery, everytime I enable my alarm and leave it overnight by morning and find that my alarm is sounding but at a very low decible and the battery is practically drained. Also this problem only occurs when it's fairly cold outside. Aside from disabling my alarm is there anyway around this?

Any help here would be appericated.

Thanks

I've had thesame..

Have the battery checked (perhaps it can't hold it's charge which means it's a goner) , if so buy a new heavy duty battery. Preferably a gell battery with reserve capacity power.

my guess is that something's 'on' in your car for some reason and your alarm is sensing the voltage and your alarm ends up going off constantly and draining the battery...maybe
