Description of the problem	Tlthe contact owns a 2006 hyundai tucson. The driver went to start the vehicle, but it would not start. He observed that the battery failed and had it replaced. The vehicle operated normally after the replacement, but the failure recurred nine months later. He connected the battery to a gauge, which indicated that it failed again. Since the battery was less than a year old, he took the vehicle to a dealer. The contact was informed that when the vehicle is parked for 2-3 days, it causes the battery to drain .
