I think mobile wifi killed my (car) battery

Today i walked out to my car after it and the battery was dead and the only thing thing that i can think of that may have caused it is the fact is that during my lunch break i was out there listening to my radio for about an hour while my phone was plugged in and charging while i was using my laptop connected to its wifi. now i know that using the wifi sharing would drain my phone battery but this is just ridiculous. lol

I would more likely look at the battery's condition and make sure the alternator is functioning properly.

If your laptop's power supply was connected as well, it is going to drain some power... It sounds like you may have underlying problems there though...

In the mean time, Wifi killed my sister.

you think it was the fact that you had your radio on? lol That would drain a lot more power than a cigarette lighter with your phone and comp plugged in.
I had this happen when i was snowboarding with some buddies, we were listening to the radio during lunch time and when we went to leave, the battery was dead, luckly someone had jumpers!

Re: I think mobile wifi killed my (car) battery

my lap top was not plugged in. only my phone was. and while i was using as a wifi router i noticed it stated to act up. i figure its a battery issue just thought it was an interesting coincidence.
