I was thinking about situations where I'd be hanging out in the car for a while and entertain myself by putting in a DVD. I understand it's good for the engine to leave it on idle for extended amounts of time (especially for the length of a movie), but it's also not good to be running the whole movie off the battery with the engine off.
What is the better option?
And is it a serious battery drainer to watch a movie with the speakers loud running on the battery?
