Just another data point for you.
Great, thanks!

I've had my battery die after a 4 week trip. Dealer tested the battery after I jumped and recharged it and said it was OK.

But then, yesterday, I returned from a 10 day trip and it was dead again.

So I'll take it in and report back to the forum.

Btw.... A quick tip:
There is no way of opening the coupe trunk when the battery is dead, so if you have jumper cables I suggest not placing them in the trunk (I put mine in the space behind the driver's seat)
