Cold Countries - How Long to Drain Battery if Left Sittiing?

Topic starter

So I hear it gets a bit cold in other parts of the world 🤔 Places like Canada and New York and such. So if you guys left your car sitting for a week or so, would it totally drain the battery?.

On older cars I expect the "electrics" arn't always on. I've got a 2006 Lexus IS220D with an alarm and other stuff (I don't know half of what it's got tbh). I need to get a voltmeter to check for a parasitic drain, but it's been hovering around zero here in the UK for a while, and I didn't drive it for over a week. So do you think 1-2 weeks would do it for a car like that?. And when I say dead battery, I mean dead at 0/0 SOH & SOC.

Thanks,
