Almost a flat battery
Yesterday I vacuumed the car interior during the day, and was going to bed last night and spotted that the red LED's in the front doors were not flashing. Thinking I'd forgotten to lock the car, I hit the lock button on the remote, indicators flashed but still no LEDs blinking. So I head outside thinking something must be open, all doors are secure, opened boot and noticed the light did not come on.
Thinking the worst I jumped into the drivers seat and hit the start button, car fired up ok but starter was slow. Started the MMI, and battery indicator was showing just 20%, car was last driven about 36 hours before, but I had been opening and closing the doors and boot to vacuum them. MMI was switched off, so no music playing.
So at 11PM, out I go for a drive to put some charge back into the battery. 20mins later, battery back at 100% I switched off, LEDs blinking once again after locking and went to bed. This morning, started fine. MMI showed battery still at 100% after 9 hours.
Not sure what happened, will keep an eye over the next few days.
