Leaving radio on?

    Hey all,

    Planning a weekend away in cork before my wedding and want to bring the movie mad wife to be to the drive in movie place down there.
    My only concern is, they say they give you a radio frequency to tune your car radio to so you can hear the movie, would having the radio on for an extended duration not kill the battery?

    If it means anything, I have a 98 corolla petrol, and only has failed to start once in 4 years as the interior lights were left on but started on first jump no bother.


    Thanks

    It would probably be okay, but they have booster packs for this anyway

    Should'nt be a problem if the battery is in good condition.

    Just start the car every 20 - 30 mins if you are worried about battery.
