Default draining a weak battery

We installed a new radio system. Would this drain a weak battery to prevent the cart from starting? We only use the radio while the cart is in operation and sometimes don't have the radio on at all.

No it shouldnt dran your battery, If you have a meter, take a reading of your battery, should be about 12.7V, and then crank your cart and do another reading and it should be about 13-14v if your charge system is working-

The radio should be no problem at all.

If you have the memory wire hooked up to save your presets you will have a very minimal draw but that shouldn't affect it unless left over the winter.
Pull the battery cables off of the battery and Ohm across them to see if you have a draw. then remove your radio wires and retry.
You say you have a weak battery to start with, have it load tested and replace if needed. Do the check Rib explained, these tests will get to the bottom of it.
