"Extra" power usage when not in use?
It seems that if I leave the car unused for a single day, it "turns off electrical system to save battery"...
The only "add on" I have is an ODB II bluetooth dongle... And it can use a little power I'm sure, but compared to the size of the battery, it has to be negligible. Anyone has that message in their car? sounds a bit silly to have such a huge battery and unable to power a little dongle for a day...? Or is it unrelated?

Well I just removed the dongle, and put it on my bench supply, it uses 80mA at idle. Doesn't seem a lot, to me.
I'll leave it removed and will try to sleep the car for a day or so, and see if it was the source of the problem...
