Default Battery troubles
1999 convertible new battery if I don't use the car for 5-6 days battery goes dead, has anyone had this problem? If I drive it daily no problem starts fine; I was told this is because C5's have active computers. Thank for any suggestions

a good battery should start the C5 after sitting for at least 3 weeks.
