How long before my batery goes flat?
New RACQ battery purchased 5 march 2015
march 9 drove 1100km to new accomodationandsince then driven 20km from March10 to april 3.
between those 2 dates car driven once a week total 20km
Today my battery was flat (430amp battery for 2.5 litre v6, bigget battery I can get for available space.)
The RACQ mechanic says it will normally go flat in a week because of the anti-theft security, clock computer etc which sounds like aload of garbage.
He also said I need to drive the car every 3 or 4 days for 10 or 20 minutes to prevent it going flat.It wont do any harm by driving it so frequently but the time inetrval seems very brief.
I cant afford the time either
Advice please
