I just replaced my 1992 integra with a NEW BATTERY over 1 1/2 months ago cuz the old battery died (I thought). When I replace with new battery, the car ran well until NOW, my new battery is completed dead.I can crank or see no lights come on.I know it cant be the battery then so can someone tell what else could be the problem or what keeps getting my battery drained out all the time. Thanks

First of all a bad connection can let the car start but limit the charge rate. Secondly, I would test to see if the alternator is charging sufficiently and also not overcharging the battery as that can kill one quickly too.
