Does anyone knows if the Boxster car goes to sleep after a certain period. I admit I have the same issue, after let's say 4~6weeks the battery becomes so low it barely start. If any longer than 6 weeks then its click-click-click.

Bypassed the battery NEG with an amp meter with all of the lights and system shutdown and still see a 0.3amp draw. Yes I pulled every single fuse that I could find in the car and the thing still reads 0.3. Seem like a lot for a 'sleeping mode'. Do these cars ever goes to sleep mode at all? I'm I inventing this?

Next time I park for a few weeks I'll just unplug the ground from the batt :/
