Did not think I would need a trickle charger, but something drained my battery quicker than expected, not sure what. Not even enough juice to power the door solenoid. I jumped it and went for an hour spin to charge it back up. Curious if anyone else has had similar experience:
Viper has been parked unlocked in a COLD garage in normal mode (not power saving mode).
Two weeks ago the Viper was started/idled for 15 minutes (seemed fine).
One month ago the Viper was driven.
Anyone else experienced an unusually fast drain? Normal? Should I be using the "power save" mode for anything more than a week?
Thanx.

This thread answered my previous question. I am now using the "power saving" mode. Only comment I would make about jumping is to follow the directions in the Viper owner manual. Give the Viper 10-15 minutes while on the cables to get the voltage up before hitting the starter.
