My battery is driving too quickly
It’s not a problem with the battery, and replacing the battery won’t fix it. There’s a leakage somewhere that’s causing the battery to drain. It will be something that’s not turning off when the car is turned off, like a computer, a light, or something that’s staying on all the time when it shouldn’t be. Try an auto electrician.
