Right! This is a second car I mainly use for short trips in the winter - or don't use it for awhile. In the summer I'll take it for long drives - and that charges the battery.

No problem if I don't drive the car - very few parasitic electrical draws like with newer cars. But a bunch of short trips at night and it seems it would be a losing battle with the battery charge.
