Car won't start two months after dealer replaced battery
Two months ago my local dealer sent their mobile service tech to replace the battery in the C63 (2011 model w/ 9k miles) after it wouldn't start, and now it won't start again... Thoughts? The car is daily driven, and I had an 09 for 20k miles and never encountered an issue like this.

Does it get power at all?

Do you have any aftermarket electronic gadgets hooked up? Sometimes they will draw too much power, even when the car is switched off.
Many parts of the car (even original equipment) draw small amounts of electricity when the car is not running. This is a noted issue with many garage queen Porsches. The dealer should check whether any parts of your car (power seats, CD player, etc.) are doing this.

There is a V1 plugged into the cigarette lighter, but that is switched and turns off when the ignition is off. Had the same setup in the 09 C63 and never had an issue. I will see what the dealer is able to find and report back.
