1. How can you tell if there is a draw on the battery when the car is off?

2. I have a ton of stuff connected to my battery and I am beginning to think it is unsafe and a real wear on my battery. How can I go about doing this some way different? If there is a way.

Sorry, I know a ton of stuff about everything else but I don’t know all that much about electrical stuff.

TIA
Brian

An ammeter will show if there is a draw on the battery.

As far as wiring everything to your battery - you should be allright as long as all of the circuits are fused properly and not shorting out. If you have alot of extra circuits in your car and you want to clean it up a bit you could get an auxiliary fuse block. Panless wiring makes some. I've never used their stuff so I don't know how good they are, but they look good to me. http://www.painlesswiring.com/fuseblock.htm

That is a great idea actually... just run a seperate fuse block under the hood. That will help you keep track of things, and will clean things up for ya at the same time.
