The dealer replaced one or two but said no more. It's only an issue on cars that sit for long periods or don't get driven 20 minutes or so that the battery needs to recharge. I know I can drive to play golf 25-30 minute drive and its totally charged but the 2-3 mile trips to run, shop etc just drain it.

The X1 was driven non-stop for over a year, and then I put it to rest for three weeks and the battery is drained.
The Honda is like new, I drive it 2000 km/year because it is a third car that just sits around and the battery never drained. How is that?
