This is a very strange issue to me. My car was parked for about a week and a half, and I went to check the battery and it started right up. I let it run for about 15 min or so, turned the car off and double checked the charge on the gauge. Everything was ok.
The car is parked in reverse, under a cover and I went out the next day to move it out of the garage, BAM dead battery. Nothing was changed from the week prior.
How can something drain the battery in one day, and not drain it over the period of a week? Is there some sort of alien anomaly that nobody understands with these cars draining the battery?

Really frustrating.
I had an issue with my power seat, could not figure it out until I eventually heard the motor running! Maybe yours got stuck in a move back drive or something!

If your car sat for a week and the battery didn't die then it was drained enough to prevent you from starting it in just one night something was left on that wasn't on during the previous week. Next time you turn your car off check for active electronics (gauge lights or dome lights staying on, radio staying on, etc.). Do you have any aftermarket electronics? Any accessories plugged into the cigarette lighters?
