Use a multimeter to check for something draining power when the car is turned off.

Is it the headunit draining the power whilst the ignition is off?

Has the cig lighter splitter got pretty LED's? Its probably draining the battery, as coule the headunit.

You need a multimeter to check the drain

Have you checked the altinator is charging properly?

In case your not sure how to just place a volt meter across the terminals and it should read 12/13 volts when engine is off and about 14/15 with enging running. I think thats correct, either way it should read higher with the engine running.

Hope this helps

Are you leaving the multi socket cig plug in when your not driving? as this will definately drain your batt.

If not the power source for your head unit is the wrong one and is draining it when your not driving it.
