Haven't had that problem but you could go to Checker or another auto parts store and they can test the battery and the alternator for you for free.

Your battery usually doesn't just drain like like, much less kill 2 batteries. Something is probably slowly draining your battery.

Also, if you don't drive a lot of freeway miles, you aren't sufficiently charging your battery.

Did you check to see if the alternator was working properly? Before you completely give up on Infiniti, make sure that you have returned all the wiring tie-ins back to stock. The problem may be with the wiring rather than the added load from those equipment. There may be a short somewhere that doen't have a fuse protecting it. Just a suggestion.

Earth, it does sound like you have a bad connection somewhere, or a defect in your charging system. What did the Dealer say and do?
I have left my 07 outside for up to 5 weeks in freezing temperatures (without starting it) and it still starts good.
If you have added extra electrical components or done changes in the system, they could blame that. Make sure they are all perfect and not causing the problem.
Good luck, I hope you get it fixed up.

Same problem here. Dealer said it's normal but clearly, most on here do not have similar issues. In the winter, if I leave it for 5+ days, the battery may not be able to start the car. There is a clear voltage drop after parking the car for 24 hrs. The alternator seems to be putting out the right voltages. I think it's the drain. However, my dealer claimed to have checked it out and did not find anything wrong. They suggested I disconnect my battery every time it's parked--what a bunch of loons!!!

In any case, I got a Battery Tender Jr (float charger) and to hell with the dealer! I wanted to have the issue resolved before I added a sub (so that they wouldn't say the install was to blame). Battery seems to be fine now. It is definitely not a good thing for it to be cycling down multiple times.

That's ridiculous that your Dealer said it is normal. I think I would be looking for another Dealer to get it fixed once and for all. There is no way I would be using a battery tender every night, Just Ridiculous

Yup. Worse thing is there is only one dealer within 2 hours of me! It sucks! No car loses that much battery power so fast. On the other hand, quite a few of us seem to have the problem. I honestly don't know what it could be except maybe the key perimeter detection system. I also came across quite a few posts from Gen1 peeps with power drain issues but nothing definitive.
