I am surprised the battery drains so fast, on my previous car (a Fiat) I had no problems to start the car even after three weeks of immobility.
Hi Sebulba,

I use my car everyday approx 6-8 miles. In 15 months I have only done 8000 miles. During the winter months when temperature was below 3 degrees stop/start does not work. I had heated seats on, charged my mobile and lights on auto (during winter lights are on most days). My last car was a Toyota TAV4. Had it 3.5 years and only done 24,000 miles. It didn't have stop/start but had no problem with battery.
