Battery fully discharge when car is not used for a week

[Ron Franklin]

I purchased a new X Trail 1.5 VC-T TEKNA e4orce on 29th July 2024 within 6 months after car had not been driven for a week battery was flat. Battery changed by garage this has happened 3 times. Seems static electricity is draining battery so an earth strap has been installed by garage. Seems to have done the trick but is this common on new hybrid cars? Garage not getting much info from Nissan.

Certainly never heard of this before but if that appears to resolve the issue then its an easy (and cheap) fix 🙂

Certainly a cheap fix but should it be necessary on a new vehicle?
