 Mazda MX5 - 18 2000 Battery Drain - mx5man
Hi All,

As per my name, I have a used Mazda MX5. I've owned it for 18 months and after replacing the battery twice, I realise that it has a battery drain. If it is undriven for a week then the battery will be flat. Mazda spent about 2 hours checking it out but drew a blank. I'm not able to drive at the moment due to surgery, but hope to be out in a few weeks.

The car is garaged at the moment and left on a permanent trickle charge. Do you think that this is my best way forward, or would it be an idea to disconnect the charger periodically. Anyone have any ideas about what may be going on? A mobile auto electrician thought that it may be a software issue, but Mazda said there were no updates re software. It's a mystery!
