    I think he meant did u installed aftermarket equipments like an amp, new speakers, monitor etc...... sometimes its also caused by a usb/charging cable that u plug into the ciggy lighter.

    Hi Eiffel,
    Did you reset the battery computer when you change your battery. Could be the reason why its charging to only 60%

    Hey Eiffel, I know this is a very old post, but I'm having the same issue of electrical leakage which just happened for no apparent reason. Mech replaced the engine ECU but problem happened again.
    what was the cause of your electrical leakage and how was it fixed?

    cheers and be Safe!

    Morning all,
    I had this issue too. Especially car is not being driven once 1 week during this MCO or CMCO period. Then i managed to found the culprit. It was due to my bluetooth dongle which connected to my phone for spotify streaming. The dongle should be off by itself if there is no bluetooth connection or activity. But it just consume the energy from line-in input . Anyway after i unplug it out. It is fine. Weird do. Luckily it is ok now.
