My 2003 z06 corvette battery keeps draining. I'm on my 3rd battery and the service dept does not know what's draining the battery. The problem is fixed when I receive a new battery, but in 6 months that battery begins to fail. If the car is not started within 3 days the battery tends to die. The dealership tells me to start the car every day, but I have 2 other cars (gmc's) that don't need to be started every day. This car is only 3 years old and I don't think it needs to be started every day. I believe something is wrong with the car and the service dept, can't figure it out.
