short battery life
I have a 2001 ML55 and it only has about 25,000 miles on it. We have noticed that if we don't use the vehicle for four to five days, the battery goes dead. Mercedes came out and gave us a new battery three months ago and it did not help. I took it back to the dealer a couple times and they said that they have gone through the charging system and there is nothing wrong. The miliamp test shows 30-40 miliamp draw all the time and they claimed that was normal. Any suggestions?
