Can Loose Battery Terminal Drain Battery. Infact they were working but sounding as if it has a sore throat. That seems like a tiny amount but a single incandescent dome light pulls enough power to drain a battery in one day.
Generally motorcycle batteries can last for around 2 to 4 years. If the battery terminals have corrosion you can clean them by applying a solution of baking soda and water to each post. The alternator may have loose belts or worn-out tensioners that keep it from working properly.
If you are having electrical problems with your car the problem could be a bad ground strap.
Well either way i just wanted to know if the loose terminals would drain my battery. To the best of my knowledge there is only one active drain on the battery. Corrosion around the terminals or loose cable connections can interfere with the battery charge and make it harder for the battery to start your engine. Jan 18 2003 2.
