Um I worked for BMW for a few years. BMW requires showroom cars not driven over a week to be placed on a charger once a week because they lose charge. At Honda now they require tests to be run on every lot car once a month. The cars have a constant draw and will kill batteries. If we don't test and charge them Honda denies a battery claim and sales pays for it.
It is a common new car problem now.
