Battery - tires easily?

[Ken Figenus]

Just wondering as have been sitting in the car with manual to hand to work out a few of the less intuitive functions (still cant seem to program the 'radio station' numbered buttons as speed dials...) and noted the battery gets tired very quickly and puts the car in low battery mode. This is with no blowers or lights on. Normal? I also noted a dealer started the engine when I was having a listen to the B&O hi fi which I thought strange (a different car though). Motorbike size battery ;-) ?

That all makes sense - especially the 'keen' bit as she always cranks beautifully after going into screen saver mode! Cheers. KF

Thanks Mike - noting this I have now bought a CTEK trickle charger as you suggest. I leave it on for 2 weeks when I go on holiday - eek! KF
