Default Battery Draining/Alarm Rewiring

Hi All,

Ive had a problem with my Supra for a while and was wondering if anybody may have some advice.

I have a clifford alarm fitted and have noticed for some time that the battery seems to be draining very quickly. If im away for a week the car wont start when I return. The battery was replaced a few months ago and its still doing the same thing. I have noticed the alarm has 2 wires going onto the positive battery connecter with an inline fuse in each. I have taken the fuses out and the battery doesnt drain so im guessing it must be the alarm draining it.

I was thinkint to reconnect the alarm to an ignition feed so it will only be draining the curretn (charging its batter I assume) when the ignition is on. The alarm battery when not connected to the main battery seems to last a long time so im hoping that only charging it when I drive it should be enough to keep it topped up.

Does this sound like a do-able idea or am i overlooking something? Also any ideas where I can find a good ignition live feed to attach the alarm to?

Many thanks for any help

Cheers,

James
