yeah, most likely your battery is toast, it's charging ok, but not holding
it.  much like your ability to hold a drink as you get older.....

		My urquattro seems to be killing its car battery over the
course of a
		week or two if the car is not used.  I have measured the
current
		draw on the battery when the car is off and it is only ~50mA
(40mA for
		the radio memory & I think ~10mA for the clock).  This does
not seem
		high enough to kill a battery, so I am wondering if anyone
knows of
		something else that might do it.  I thought the radiator fan
after-run
		circuit might be the culprit, but that appears to stop
running after
		the car cools down enough.

		Any ideas?
