Welcome to the forum,

Good advice from Norri.

That's discharge rate is almost making the unusable after overnight parking. Hope the guys on the X351 section can come up with a quick and easy fix for you.

there is something draining the batteries such as a short, or could also be related to the alternator, they should not just replace the battery, the dealer needs to root the problem
