What kind of battery do you have and how old is it? My 03 S has an Interstate battery in it that is pretty old and still going strong. I bought this car new in September 2003 and this is just the second battery in the car, the first one I purchased after the one that came in the car when it was new. I keep my car on a CTEK battery maintainer whenever it is in the garage. When I am on an overnight trip for several days or the car is in the shop for more than a few days there is never a problem with the battery. If you have access to a power outlet, get a battery maintainer.
