Does leaving the Mehran idle for a few days cause the battery to die?

I didn’t drive my Mehran for 4-5 days and now the battery is dead. Is this common for Mehran, o r could it be a deeper battery o r alternator issue?

Yes, if your Mehrans battery is already weak, even 4–5 days of not driving can cause it to discharge completely. This is especially common if:

The battery is old o r low on charge.

The car has a small parasitic draw.

Weather is extremely cold in northern areas o r very hot.

To avoid this:

Disconnect the negative terminal if you’re not driving for several days.

Start the car every 2–3 days for a few minutes to keep it charged.

Consider a trickle charger if the car will sit longer.
