A couple of possibilities in your case, Dave:
1. The alternator has not been charging the battery fully for a long time and that showed in marginal conditions (cold start) as it just didn't have the power.
2. In older cars if the diodes in the alternator were faulty they would allow current drain through them when ignition was off. I don't know if the V70 is still wired in that way but if so it would cause exactly these symptoms?
