Just returned from a trip in the US to find my DS is telling me the battery is low.

Bought it just before Christmas, surely it cant need a new battery already?

If the car is brand new then take it back as a warranty issue.

If it was a used car:
How old is the car?
How old is the battery?
Was it bought from a trader or a private sale? If from a trader then take it back as a warranty issue.
Oh it's a couple of years old and had 8000 miles on the clock when i bought it just before Christmas from a land rover dealer.

The dealer has said this is normal and the battery will recover once i start using it regular again - which sounds odd to me.

How much is the car used?

How long was it left at the airport for?
Since i bought it it's been used daily. Then it's been left for 6 days on my drive !
