Does your charger have a 2 amps charge option?
if so,let the battery charger overnight at 2 amps for a couple of nights.That way your battery would get a deep charge instead of superficial caused by higher currents provided by the on board charging system.

Battery wasn't fully drained as I connected my charger for a few minutes and she started right up.



My X is a base model (if there is a base model). It has no fancy features that I know of. I sat inside for a minute. Didn't hear any noises of any kind. I'm hoping this was a one time thing as I don't want the new battery to keep draining. I will see if she starts tomorrow. I will check the battery with a multimeter. With the alarm active and in sleep mode, how much power should the multimeter be reading ?
