I read on this site that a game system will drain your battery in your car. If I put in my ps2 slim and headrest monitors in my car will it drain my battery? I have a subs in my car as well and dont want to put these in and have it drain my battery. I know someone has done something like this and I want to know if this is true or not.

 

if you play the game system with the engine off, then yes...just like leaving your stereo or headlights on.
wire it to acc or ign and only run when the car is on and you will be fine.

 

alright sounds good. I think thats what I will be doing. I hope to either get my xbox or ps2 slim installed in my car with the monitors soon.

 

Uh no.. Why waste gas... Just buy a yellow top and you'll be good.

 

red top ftmfw

 

why a redtop.. he's going ICE..

 

idk yellow is fugle

 

yellow top looks like what you need

yellow is both a deep cycle and starting


red is just a more powerful starting with decent reserve time.


If you are going to have your subs/amps on with the power inverter with the car off you need a deep cycle of some kind.
How much current are you going to be pulling?

 

however much is needed to power a slim ps2? not really sure because I am kinda new to this.

 

ps2 slim doesn't pull much of anything.. a simple inverter with your stock battery is fine.

but to really answer your question.. anything that you turn on that uses power... if your car isn't running..

WILL drain your battery.

doesn't matter if you have a itty bitty led bulb in your dome light on... it'll be draining your battery...

 

Thanks for all the help. People kept telling m it drains the battery no matter what so thats why I was questioning it

 

the color of the battery has no bearing (red, white, yellow or brown). as i orginally stated, you will drain it if you are not charging it.
