Will this capacitor continue to draw power from the battery when the vehicle is off it it is hot wired to the battery?

It keeps constant power between battery and power to ur subs I run 2 12s on it all day with no problem.

No I have a manual car and it shuts off about 10-30 seconds after the car is shut off...

I believe some battery drain does occur. I had multiple occasions where I tried to start my (new) car and the battery was dead. However, this was after at least 1-2 weeks of no use.

The capacitor only goes between the amplifier and the battery in case something happens to the amplifier, it keeps it from messing up your battery. The remote hook up should be on your amplifier.

Nope. The car needs a power outlet that stays on all the time. Just about all recent cars [at most 1999 to present] have an always on power outlet although it may take a while to find it.

No. Just keeps putting out up to 2 watts of power. Should not be a big deal unless you have a really tiny battery. Automotive batteries will have no problems.

If you wired it in directly to the battery and the lite is on when the key is off it in time will drain the battery it is a very small slow draw. With the key on and the vehical running it is no problem. I wired mine threw a wire that was only hot when the key is on, this shuts all the lites off when you turn the vehical off. Was used on 2014 RZR 900.

I'm a mechanic and yes it will drain the battery if you leave it plugged in while the car is off, my suggestion is to hard wire it into the car with an "add a fuse" , it's simple and cheap and will turn on and off with the car without draining the battery (look up a video on YouTube "how to hardwire in a radar detector")

Depends on how you want it wires. I connected mine to the stock wiring behind the cigarette lighter. That way when the key is in the acc or vehicle on position (engine running) the monitor will always have power. When the vehicle is off the monitor loses power not draining the battery

It will drain your battery very quickly when the car is off. The alternator should help

It will draw power from the car battery but the alternator will recharge it fine. Only issue would be if you recharged it a few times without running you car. Then you might have to get your car jumped!

It depends on your car some cars have slow constant drains in them from security systems and lighting and advanced electronics and these would trick the Sansour into giving incorrect readings on your batteries voltage so most of the time the battery is suggested to be disconnected but if it's just for a little top off charge you can get away with it

I run a wire to my fuse box and found a fuse that turns off when the switch does . I use this this cb in my hot shot truck and it has work very well

Well, when you are driving, you alternator will charge the battery, and the draw is small, so there is no issue. It does have an auto shut off, however.

Yes I leave it plugged in all the time but of course when the car is off it is not providing ant power.

No it will only draw power/activate wifi when the vehicle is running or has accessory power on

That would be my big problem. If your car doesn't turn off that plug when the car is off it will stay on and run your battery down. So I've had to have my car jumped a few times when I forgot to turn it off. And that's bad for your battery.

Assuming your car doesn't send power to the 12v outlet when it is off (and most don't) it won't drain your battery. I left mine plugged in until it died and never had any issues.

depends on if your 12V outlet stays live when you take the key out of the ignition. If it turns off, like most cars, then the seat heater will turn off also. But if your outlet always has power, then yes, it will drain your battery.
