Blown Fuse, Battery Cables

Could the fact that my radio fuse is blown have anything to do with my battery not being able to hold a charge and dying every couple days if I don't drive it. Also, any guides out there on how to replace the battery cables? The engine area is rather complex and my manual only tells how to replace the battery.
Thanks.

    I would replace the battery if it is more than 2 to 3 years old. That will either take care of it, or allow you to focus on digging deeper without worrying about the battery. Why would the cables need replacing?

    I would also replace the radio fuse and clean the contacts, but that probably isn't the problem. I just replace the battery in mine and then I replace the alternator because it wasn't putting out juice. That was easily tested with a simple volt meter. I searched archives under "alternator" to find out what to do.
