So, will charging the cell phone in a car drain the battery if the car is not running? My husband and my brother-in-law both agree that my sister and I are totally off on this one. Please tell us because right now we are arguing about this too often.

Draining the car battery

I wouldn’t worry about it either. Carry an aux jumper battery in the trunk with a DC jack and use it regularly out of the car too if necessary, esp camping…and don’t worry about it.
