is my battery draining? 850 1995

47 refers to the physical size of the battery case, not the amperage. Your battery should have more than 500 cold cranking amps (CCA), a 120 hour reserve capacity and a 70 amp-hour or more total capacity (Volvo specs for temperate 4-season use). Many stores sell lesser batteries that won't hold up (even tho the physical size is the same). Maybe the ones you are buying are just too small for the car?
