2007 6lt Calais, if left for more than a couple of days the battery will be flat, have killed two batteries over the past couple of months, both were totally flat would not accept a charge. Now have solar trickle charger on the parcel shelf and leads direct to battery, still have to run it every day. What could be drawing enough to flatten the battery but not overheat anything?

usual cause on ve is door actuator not locking leaving computers powered up
is this stock electrically, no amps, headunit changes
is this a new fault or since you owned it

There was a post a few weeks ago about a faulty air cond relay draining the battery overnight.
