Killed my battery today.

Okay, during my huge Zaino binge today, I had my CD player playing with the key in 'accessory' mode.
No problem. (Well, perhaps a problem cuz zainoing took me a whlie).

I also heard some kind of motor sound, but I brushed it off, because I thought it was the cd player or something. (DUMB
)

Then all of a sudden the music stopped. huh?
I get in the car, and it's still playing. I play with the volume,
try radio stations. It seems fine, but no sound.

So I try starting the car. It won't start.
Then I look at the dash some more, and my CLIMATE CONTROL
is on! Aigh!!!

I power everything off, and when I finished Zainoing, I tried starting the car, and it started this time. Whew! I didn't kill it, just gave it a 'flesh wound'.

I left my car in the accessory postion for about 10mins with the headlights on and climate control running and that totally killed the battery. It didn't even have enough juice in it to power the V1. I ended up having to get a jump start from somebody at work. I didn't think our battery would die that quick, my car is only a 1 1/2yrs old.
