    Question about capacitors?

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I just put a capacitor in my car for my stereo and I went out to my car and the battery was dead. I do not know if the battery was dead because I left a light on(i couldn't find one on) or what, but it was dead. My question is, is this because of the capacitor? If the capacitor has less than 12 Volts when I leave my car, and turn it off, will the capacitor drain the car battery?
