Consumer electrics Offline again !!!!

Hi, well i bought a new battery £170 and everything was fine for a few weeks, so this weekend i have not driven the car for 3 days and i have the consumer electrics offline again

I suppose my questions are:

Is this normal ?
Have i got a power drain ?
Has anybody had this issue and if they have what has been the power drain ?

Hopefully someone can help

I dont think its normal, maybe a battery fault? This happens to me when I dont drive the car for a few weeks, nothing works including the steering wheel adjust and the seats, so i just drive the car until the battery has enough power to do its thing, car goes back to normal after a few long drives

This is not normal. Charge the battery and have it load tested to determine if you got a faulty battery. If battery checks out you need to check drain at rest. Off the top of my head you need to have no more than 50 miliamps drain at rest. If you have more- start pulling fuses until your drain drops. Once it does the offender would be on that circuit.
