Description of the problem | Dead battery after sitting for 3 days. Replaced battery. Dead battery again a few weeks later, again after sitting for a few days. Used the car a lot over next two months, so car didn't sit idle more than two days at a time. Then the problem recurred when not driving the car for a few days. Took it to a hyundai dealer, who couldn't find any problem. Car ok when using it on a regular basis. Then parked it for a few days, and battery died. Took it back to the dealer who still can't find anything wrong with the electrical system. Only solution to the problem seems to be to drive the car every day or keep a trickle charger on the battery when the car sits for more than 2 days. |
