Default Fast Dead Battery

Has anyone tried turning the key to the on position but leaving the engine off and hold down the express window up button? My battery gauge seems to take a pretty good drop for however long I hold it down. Scared me the first time... Is it normal for it to drop like that. I had a corvette that seemed to do the same when i held the windows up buttons down for too long.

while you're doing the express button thing, turn your headlights on to watch them dim as well. tons of fun. . . . .

Doesn't that screw up the battery?

I'll tell you what else leaves you with a lil suprise.... have the ignition key on just a tiny bit when you pull the key out.... mine has been replaced and was about 1 degree off when it was cammed.... I didn't notice the lil battery light still on... and it was dead when the missus went out the next morning....

BTW.... Delco 91 series batteries cost $109 + tax and core at Pep Boys.

Did a different battery make a difference? Im thinking about adding another battery along with the original to my H2 so I can listen to the stereo whileI was it. I was washing my hummer and by the time i finished the battery was real low and when i went to start it, it sounded like it struggled a little bit. The clock on my radio also reset itself to 12:00. I NEED MORE POWER!!
