Partly out of curiosity but a practical question too - roughly how long can a CX-3 be left parked before the battery runs itself flat ?
Say with a healthy normally charged battery and say the NAV+ gizmo electrics pack parked normally with all lights etc off ignition off and vehicle locked?
In practice how long is safe and how long runs it flat?
thx T
How long unattanded before battery depleted?
What is the current condition/capacity of the battery?
What is the parasitic average current with everything turned off?
In my previous model CX-3 (2018) the parasitic average current was around 55mA and the battery capacity I believe was 60Ah (when new).
60Ah/55mA = 45 days before the battery is completely depleted.
Remember that you need enough electricity left in the battery to start the car...

I always run mine for 30 minutes every two weeks if I'm not using it. I have left it for 4 weeks and it has been fine. It all depends on the condition of your battery.

I meant to add that I always carry a jump start pack, just in case I ever have a problem. You have to remember to keep it charge though.
