Mine does the same, probably the alarm system or the tracker if fitted causing the drain. I just hook mine upto an Optimate battery charger and conditioner whilst its in the garage and its good to go at anytime then :thumb:

Same happened to my 03 STi. It's a known problem with Subarus that batteries drain quick. :(

yeah sounds good idea hooking up to a charger when in garage ,how much did you pay for your charger:thumb:

Can't remeber what I paid but I think they're about forty quid, here is a link to their site http://www.optimate.co.uk/accumate.htm They do an attachment that you can connect to the battery, then all you have to do is connect to a small plug socket through the front grille to charge.

Same here. I'm on my 3rd Battery now. And got a Charger! Short story is, mines never in the week just weekends. Now I go out for a 10min drive in the week. Seems to have fixed it!
