    Just out of interest, im paranoid about flat batteries so i simply plug in the ctek charger about once a month and leave it on charge for a few days. The D4 seems to not charge itself like the old cars do. I cant have the radio on as after a few minutes i get the battery low voltage warning.
    I wouldnt go changing batteries yet, just give it a good charge with a good charger.
    cheers

    If I turn the interior lights off as suggested by Admiral once I RTFM and leave the key out of the ignition will that stop the system from waking up if doors are opened and closed?
    Yes, should do, and you can check by obviously looking for any interior lamps on, and if any indicator lamps are on in the instrument pod.

    Another one I just thought of. If you have a CB wired into your main, and are leaving it on to monitor, it will also run your battery down. I have to have the radio in standby quite often, ( Icom - which have a bit of a rep for being power hungry ) and have now wired it to the aux battery, through a fuse panel.

    Camping Vehicle Access

    When parked up remote camping or fiddling about I generally leave one door slightly ajar ie not completley shut.

    The D4 electonics shuts down after a few minutes and any body can open and close the doors as much as they like and vehicle won't wake up. The auto light OFF is also used.
