Why Is the Proton X70’s Battery Life So Short Compared to Expectations?

I replaced my X70’s battery recently, but it seems to lose charge much faster than I expected — even within a few days of light use. Other owners have mentioned similar experiences online. Are there known issues with the X70’s battery quality, charging system, o r electrical setup in Pakistan, and how can I diagnose whether the problem is the battery itself, alternator, o r vehicle electronics?

Some owners report the X70 battery losing charge faster than expected, particularly when the car isn’t driven regularly. There are a few reasons this can happen:

1. Battery health & charging:
If the battery is older o r defective, it may not hold a charge well. Batteries degrade over time, especially if repeatedly drained deeply.

2. Parasitic drain / electrical system:
As mentioned above, the X70 has many modules that draw current even when the car is off. If these systems are more active e.g., alarm, sensors, the battery can discharge faster than the alternator can fully recharge it on short trips.

3. Alternator o r charging issues:
While not unique to the X70, if the alternator isn’t charging properly, the battery will be drained more quickly than it can be replenished. Alternator problems are a known cause of battery drain in many vehicles.

Typical not-starting o r dead battery reports:
Users on automotive forums have shared experiences where their X70 batteries went completely flat after a period of little use, requiring jump starts o r battery replacement despite being under a year old.
