Power loss

[irmscher_sxi+]

Anyone ever lost power completely? I have no idea what happened tonight but I left the ignition at 2nd position with the radio on and the battery was drained within 15 minutes! Its ridiculous because the car has only just turned a year old with 8500 on the clock. I'm thinking I should go to vaux and get the battery replaced under warranty?? Will this fix the problem? It happens quite a lot, but never after 15 minutes.

Well if u had your fan even on the 1 setting and had your rear window heater button pressed as well as charging something with the cigi lighter and had your lights on then yes u could have drained it pretty fast but dont know about 15 mins, depends what set up u have

If you regularly drain your battery then it will die permanently. Car batteries are not meant to be fully discharged and their performance will suffer (until full failure) if you continually drain them dry.
