No dead battery

I thought I would make a post regarding a battery that did not fail.
I had some surgery and so my car went untouched for 12 straight days. Sparked up today good as new (well it is really)! NO trace of hesitation at all!

After 12 crappy and painful days, today driving was a pure pleasure.

Actually yes. On the BMW forum people have complained about dead batteries from sitting and even if the don't drive enough per day. Modern cars have lots of electronics on all the time. Even when off. But I think those who have dead batteries might have a ground fault. I've let all my cars sit for long periods and no issues.

But it's discussed a lot.
