Description of the problem	Am on 4th new battery. When car sits for a short time, say 3-5 days, battery discharges and dies. Gauges and lights flash on and off when attempting a charge. One time was locked out of car as entry fob would not unlock had to break into car since no power to car to open or operate locks. Have had vehicle towed twice to dealer, each time nothing found wrong, but new battery installed twice under current warranty after new interstate battery (9 months old) supposedly was dead, interstate refunded all monies. This happens each time the car sits. I have left it at the dealer and they can not replicate the action or symptoms. They return the car until i get stuck somewhere with a dead battery. Have had many issues with the roof skylite drains overflowing into the car even after it was repaired. Questioned if the intake of water may be a symptom of the other battery problem. Response from dealer was no. I would like to get the car to work normally again. All maintenance has been performed timely on vehicle since purchase and no accidents.
