no, just let your car run for a little bit to charge it
After driving for a while, the alternator should get it back up to charge. If you have trouble later on down the road, you can have an autoparts store test it for you.

wow, lol !!
you have alot to learn young padawan.
but your in the right place :)
and like they said, Its fine. Next time, if your playing it with the car off. Turn the car on for about 2 minutes every half hour so the alternator can charge the battery.
And if your radio needs manually turned off, then you should rewire it. cause its bound to happen again.

Your radio really shouldn't kill your battery. Your battery might be on its last legs. Advance Auto checks Alternator and Battery amperage for free, might be worth a check? Good Luck with whatever you go for!! :)

If you aren't going to be using your car for an afternoon or something, take the battery out and take it to an Advance Auto and tell them you want to have it charged and tested. If it's still good (Probably is), then the machine will charge it back up to full capacity.

He's right about that, unless of course you have an amplified system, then it might kill the battery fairly quickly. If that's the case then I say 15-25 mins of play then crank to be safe. Yea and welcome to zilvia:bigok:
