    Use a solar panel to keep it charged.

    I think I’d rather find the cause......solar panel isn’t fixing the actual issue.

    It's normal for some drains to deplete a parked vehicle. Solar charging would keep it charged and allow the normal cycles to operate. Solar charging also keeps batteries healthy.

    All back to normal at the moment like it is 95% of the time. Thanks to Brian Elloy. The BM2 battery monitor will definitely help to solve the problem.

    So I was in and out of the vehicle installing a coulomb counter to monitor the lithium batteries.
    The dips are each time I unlocked the vehicle. No interior lights. Just the vehicle waking up and going back to sleep. Love this monitor. Can even get a connection in bed. How good is that!! Most closely watched battery on the planet.

    I didn’t know what a coulomb counter was until I googled LiFePo4 battery gauge. The one I got looked identical to the one below but a third the cost from Hong Kong. With the mandatory Chinglish instruction sheet of course. Seem to be working so far....
