2005 Mitsubishi 380 battery being completely drained.

Car: Mitsubishi 380
Year: 2005
Variant: LX

Categories: Electrics, ECU, Warnings & Lights

Despite a new battery and in RACQ workshop for three days, apparently they couldn’t find a problem, the battery was completely useless the following morning after collection. 😡. Used power pack to start. This has occurred a number of times since the beginning of December 2023 and several garages have investigated the problem with no results. Help please

Usually they would check for a parasitic drain which should show fault . Another possible cause on some vehicles can be if you keep your key fob in house any where in range of the car it can keep on transmitting , communicating with the car and not letting certain systems / modules to shut down , thereby draining the battery
