Re: Battery problem
If so then yes, it is enough to drain the battery quickly. If its like normal systems you have to cut the key to ACC. Which powers up all the trucks ACC powered equipment. Then you have the TV going along with the stereo and Bose amps. I’d say an hour is about right to drain to the point of not being able to start.

Re: Battery problem
Yes, she was watching movies while the truck was not running, but the key was not in either. The DVD player runs off the acc plug in the rear - so the only thing powered up was the DVD player.
I just sold my 25' boat which had two marine deep cycle batteries and I was able to watch movies and run the fridge all night... I hate to think that just watching movies for an hour will kill my truck battery!
My wife and I sometimes go downtown and one of us stays in the truck with our two girls while the other runs into a store (saves us from dragging the kids around the mall) - so now I'm a bit worried to leave them in the truck watching movies because I'll come out to a dead battery.
I think I'm going to put an ammeter on the DVD player tomorrow to see what its drawing - I'll post my results tomorrow.

Re: Battery problem
I went out this morning and the truck BARELY started... so there is definitely something fishy going on.
I think rather than measuring the DVD player I'll pull a battery terminal off and measure the engine off current drain like Mr.Pat.
