Battery drain
I have a really slow battery drain that drains about a third of my battery overnight, just low enough that i cant start it. I am almost certainly sure its my stereo. Is there a quick/easy way to check/fix this problem?

get your digital multi-meter out and check to see what your draw is.
As covered in other threads before, you typically want to see less than a 70-75mA draw on a FC.
And (again as covered in countless other threads) once you see how much draw you have, then you can isolate the draw by pulling fuses and watching the draw change on your multi-meter.
