High battery drain message types/occurances-POLL

[peter530i]

Guys, can we do a little bit of statistics here about the famouse "Increased battery discharge while stationary" message:
I'm trying to see if there are really 2 types of the battery problems, just a "messageswise" one and a real one.

A) anybody with ONLY the message showing up (no clock reset, no dead battery ever)

B) message + clock reset - never dead battery

C) message + clock reset + dead battery eventualy

D) none of the above

PLEASE VOTE IN THE POLL ABOVE.

Thanks.

so anyone dare to summ-it up? ) do we have a conclusion or confusion?

For this data to make sense you need more info. Like, build date of vehicle and then option contents... and see if there is any trend to the failures.

avg mi. driven per day too...

I chose A (happened twice), with less than 4mi. driven a day weekdays but for the entire year I'm at just over 4k. Comes out to almost 12mi. a day. Still though, I'm surprised it doesn't happen more frequently with my infrequent use since it doesn't get to charge much.

I have had 2 cases showing up :
1. message + clock reset (other things reset to like DRL)
2. just the message itself.

I have an april 07 build 3.0si, and never encountered a battery problem at all. Lots of other niggles but never battery.
