I know with my wife's short commute during the winter, with the car full of kids, all 4 heated seats on high, all the lights on, windshield wipers on, front and rear heater fans blowing, the battery never really gets to recharge itself after starting in the morning. So, if we don't make any hour+ drives over the weekend, the trickle charger gets hooked up overnight.

FYI, your xenon's are about half the load of standard halogens.

thanks for the input, don't have heated seats..and never likely to need them out if i did have, but yup I guess my short commutes don't do much good i guess.....thank god for the weekends when i can go for longer drives
