I love my car, and do make a habit of plugging in the charger if I'm not expecting to use it for a week or so. It's been fine for 8 months, and 2600 miles. Last Friday night, I drove the car. The next morning cleaned the inside of the front windshield (didn't start the engine, turned nothing on), and 36 hours later, the battery was completely flat. Key wouldn't open or lock the door, etc.
After a trip to the shop (very accommodating- lake Forest Sports Cars), it responded to a recharge, and nothing wrong could be identified. Left alone, it loses about 4% of its charge in 24 hours, which seems okay to them and to me.
I heard no fans running, and don't think I unintentionally left a parking light on.
My questions are, "has anyone else had this happen?", and "any thoughts on what occurred?"
What I've learned is that the lithium ion battery can be completely recharged after going dead, unlike the typical automotive battery we are accustomed to. I'm told that a light touch of the start/stop button can stop the engine, but leave it in one of 3 "start" modes, similar to an ignition key turned to "on" but not "start". I'll have to pay attention to that.
I'm getting it back today, and will let you know if there are any further developments (or not).
All insight appreciated. Thanks
