battery keep draining when bluetooth is on

My battery keeps draining as soon as I turn on my bluetooth. But I need the bluetooth when I'm in my vehicle. Any ideas on how to overcome this problem?

iPhone 5, iOS 8.3

BlueTooth uses no significant amount of power (maximum of 10 milliwatts). If the phone is draining it is not because of BlueTooth, but it could be some app that is using BlueTooth. The easiest way to resolve the problem is to keep the phone plugged in when using it in the car. Use a 3rd party approved USB adapter, rather than the USB port in the car (if it has one). The Apple store carriers several approved car USB adapters.
