Battery Dead after 8 days sitting the garage

errett · 07-18-2010, 10:54 AM

My 2010 Pathfinder did the same thing right after it was purchased. I put it on a slow charger and brought it back up to full and have not had the issue since.

My 370Z regularly sits for a week at a time without being started and I have not seen this happen.

Keep an eye on it, my H2 came from the dealership with a dead cell in the battery and left me stranded less than 1 month after purchase.

I am not too impressed with the battery that came with my new Z. I had to boost it up twice in my first 2 months of ownership. The 2nd time, the dealership ran a check and said battery was OK. Granted mine is a roadster,with the added drain playing around the power top; this factory battery appears not to hold the charge too well esp with my daily driving being fairly short distances ( less than 10 kms ) each time on my daily commutes.
The first time it happen was after a week of ownership and I attributed that to having left it in the ACC. position; as I was in a hurry getting to work and then finding the battery almost dead 9 hours later.

Turns out I had accidentally double tapped the engine stop button when turning it off and it ended up in the Accessory position...Just a thought..

Something had to be on for it to completely drain..

i'm pretty sure that after certain amount of time with inactivity, the car turns off in ACC mode.

I was polishing mine all day on saturday a week or two ago and the car definitely shuts down after an hour or so. I know this because I had to keep turning it back on. Might be a 2010 improvement...
