'18 XC60 battery drain issue
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? |

Did you fit an AGM battery or just a generic one? Sounds like a warranty issue to me, the handbook says the battery should be good for up to seven years.
I discovered the hard way that there’s no battery protection on the car when I accidentally left a rear door ajar for a week which totally flattened the battery. Learned from this and bought a NOCO lithium ion jump starter thing to keep in the glovebox*. * annoyingly it fits perfectly in the hole under the boot floor, but you can’t access this if the boot is closed and the battery is flat. |

I can't see what car you have (always useful). Can you open the glovebox without power?

New V60. Yes, once you've opened the passenger door using the backup key the glovebox is fair game.
Although I suppose if you left a door ajar you'd have no issues getting in anyway. |

Nor would anyone else.
Definitely a warranty issue.
