1. Audio and video devices: The audio system, multimedia device, video player, and other electronic devices related to the car's audio and video functions can use a lot of battery power. Especially if these devices are left on when the car is not in use. For example, if you leave the video player on for a long period of time, it can cause the battery to drain quickly;
2. Chargers for mobile devices: Modern cars have a large number of USB ports that are designed to charge mobile phones, tablets, and other electronic devices. However, if these devices remain connected to the car's USB port when the car is turned off, they may continue to draw power from the car's battery, causing the battery to discharge;
3. Lighting devices: Devices that have lighting, such as interior lighting, instrument panel lighting, and mirror lighting, can also affect the discharge of the car battery. If such devices are left on when the vehicle is turned off, they can draw energy from the battery and cause it to discharge;
4. Electric heaters: Electric heaters such as seat heaters, steering wheel heaters, and mirror heaters can also use a lot of battery power. If you leave such devices on for a long period when the car is turned off, this can lead to a rapid discharge of the battery;
5. Car alarm: Car alarm or other security systems can be connected to the car battery and consume power even in standby mode. If the car alarm is left on for a long period of time, it can use a significant amount of energy from the battery and cause it to discharge.
