what brand is the battery? if new one drain after 1 day of non-usage then take back for replacement. if the workshop hesitate to replace then it is not new but most likely a recond sold as new.

This problem I have for quite some time already.. That is why try change new battery but still the same...

What could be the problem besides battery issue?

are both batteries, the old and new. the same brand? if you can rule out the batteries, then you can go to an authorized SC to check on the wiring. it might be short-circuit to the body of the car somewhere.

Can recommend any authorized SC around Damansara PJ? I have tried many things before, and pretty convince this is wiring problem...

Thanks anyway.

For updates, I googled around and did my own CSI yesterday and found out the parasitic drain was caused by the lighting at the boot. Removed it and now it is ok.
Got some inspiration from this guy here http://pimpmygen2.blogspot.com/2010/01/how...tery-drain.html thumbup.gif
