Car battery Drain

Hi yesterday I left my car on for like 10 mints while I was using a small canadian tire compressor to pump my bike tires. My volume was very low and my system is a 500/1 jbl amp and 2 10 inch w3v3 subwoofers. Should my battery have drained so quickly that it does not turn on today? Also I have a 2005 altima so the battery is fairly new.

thanks

with the sound system and pump going it shouldn't have killed your battery in just 10 minutes unless you were cranking the system. Sounds like it's time to replace that 4+ year old battery

If you're keeping the car quite awhile don't cheap out. get an interstate or an Optima Redtop if you want to spring for one

Some people swear by them, I've seen 2 stop holding a charge after less than a year. I wouldn't use one as a primary battery personally, But i'm certain other's will state otherwise.

those be the one's.

Go to a few local shops, even performance shops or 4x4 shops. You should be able to get a pretty good price on a red top.

With interstate, dealers make about $20-30/ battery so they don't move on pricing much.
