No whining noases Mechanic's Assistant: What is the make/model/year of your car? 2010 mazda 3 Mechanic's Assistant: Are you fixing your Mazda 3 yourself? What have you tried so far?

Hello and thank you for using JustAnswer. My name is \*\*\*\*\* \*\*\*\*\* I will do my best to assist you.. I help many customers, so sometimes my replies are delayed, I will respond once available. During this conversation you will be given an automated offer for a phone call. You may accept or decline that offer.I don’t personally offer this service so if you take this another tech may call. So the boosting is not good that can damage the vehicles computer systems, you need a battery tender to keep the levels up and also have the battery checked it may be time for a new battery or you may have a draw on the system. Heres a link below for a battery tender. https://www.batterytender.com/Battery-Tender-Junior-12V-0-75A

What is a battery tender (not available in Canada) and is there an equivalent here I can get. How can I test if my battery needs replaced? Why is it deleted? Do I have a draw on it when it's off?
