No idea on age of battery as recent car purchase, but could be up to 8 years
Yes. It was probably the battery. Every second hand car I have ever purchased got a new battery from day 1 of ownership. And a check of the battery cables too. Useful lesson when driving cars that were not made in the decade I owned them.

No idea on age of battery as recent car purchase, but could be up to 8 years. Been doing infrequent very short (<10 mins) trips with a couple of ~hour long ones in the past 6 months.
I now have a new battery so I guess I'll find out if the drain is significant when I next go to start it, but helpful to hear probably unlikely to be doing much by unlocking regularly....
