Flat Battery- Windows Open !!

[pony13ca]

When I bought my car, the gentlemen that owned it, hadn't started it for 3 weeks. There was just enough power to open the frunk, but no lights and she wouldn't start. However the windows were up, and the trunk was locked. Jumped the car to take it for a test drive, and the same battery is in the car working fine.

Thanks all

I was disappointed that battery would be flat in 2 weeks but not surprised, I can imagine this happening.

However for the windows and boot to open (they were definitely not open before we left, I can 100% guarantee that) is really shocking.

My GF spoke to her brother in law and he said he had similar issue on a Boxster he owned years ago, as the battery started to die the windows opened ! Utterly crazy

If you know you're leaving it for longer periods of time the best course of action is to invest in a battery maintainer.
