as topic, i just hv whole inspection last week and they said my battery is ok, but my car turn down bez lack of battery and i was wondering why, i turn on/off headlight everytime, the only thing that will consume my battery should be aftermarket car alarm, which blink very fast
only reason it woul dif its not hook up right or weak battery or alternator not charging it to full
A properly operating car alarm uses very little current, but if it is acting up it could cause problems. Car batteries last 3-5 years, generally speaking.
Alarms use very little power. They will take at least 2 months before they run down your battery. A new battery will last 3 to 5 years. If the battery goes dead before this time and you did not leave the lights on, your alternator may be having issues.
under normal conditions, the life of the house then some. There are 2 places in my area where there is something in dirt that corrodes copper, but that's not normal. I would use copper over anything else.
Copper should last a life time. I'm in the midwest and about 90% are copper and 10% PEX (new plastic) When copper went through the roof this summer, most plumbers switched to PEX.
