Description of the problem	Forester was parked in under ground parking garage for between one and two weeks. The battery was completely dead, no sound at all when i tried to start it. The only door that was locked was the rear hatch door. Neighbor brought a battery charger and got the forester started. Following that, i drove it to the local subaru dealer and ask them to check and see if anything was draining the battery. They check everything and did not find any problem. The fellow at the service desk said that starting a car is the biggest drain on a battery and if the car isn't driven enough between startups, it tends to bring the battery down. He recommended particular battery charger which he said i could purchase at walmart. Since i only have a little over eleven thousand miles on my forester, and i have never had this situation occur with any of my other automobiles in the past. I do worry about what would happen should i leave my car parked at the airport for a couple weeks and there is no place to plug in a charger. I still love my forester.
