Frequent Jump Starts Required – Is This a Sign of Bigger Electrical Issue?

Over the last few weeks, I’ve had to jump-start my Changan Karvaan almost every other day. The battery is just 8 months old.
Could this indicate a deeper issue with the wiring, fuse box, o r ECU? What areas should a mechanic check to diagnose properly?

Yes, this is a clear sign of a parasitic drain o r charging system fault.

Check the following:

Battery health Get it load-tested

Alternator output

Grounding points and terminals

ECU error codes especially if it resets after each start

Loose o r corroded fuse box connections

Tip: A good auto electrician should perform a multimeter test across fuses for current leaks.
