If your battery is dying, then the alternator is not supplying enough power. Does your lights dim during heavy bass note?
A battery dying is a serious warning sign. Don't ignore it.

Why would you want to do that? You'll practically shut off every electrical components in the car.
3 years seem to be the average life of a battery. Although mine is lasting longer than 4 years. |

No, ground wires in the car were designed to be screwed on tight. Why do you need to physically disconnect the power wires from your system? That's what the remote wire is for. To turn off the amp when the HU powers off. |
