I've had a T5 Momentum XC60 since april and been really pleased with it, except it has completely drained the original Volvo battery when stood for 6 days without use. Properly drained too - down to 8v and even a proper battery conditioner can't bring it back to life. I've fitted a replacement, but the same thing happens - I have to disconnect the battery now if I'm not using the car for more than a couple of days, which is suboptimal as I then have to leave the boot lid ajar, otherwise I can't get in to re-connect the battery.

Anyone got any ideas as to the problem before I talk to Volvo?
