Default Battery Discharge
Hi all. just wondering if anyone knows why my battery keeps going flat after a few days if i don't drive it. i have put a brand new battery in it twice but i can't seem to work out why the battery drains so quickly. Any help would be appreciated. I do have an aftermarket alarm on it.

Is it charging whilst driving? Otherwise parasitic draw from electronics is more possible. Leaving an interior light on will likely drain the battery after a few days.

Haven't modified your windows so they work 24/7 have you? pretty sure that's what kills mine after a few days of sitting around.
