I don't drive my C4S often right now and I've heard before that there's an issue with battery draining if the car is not driven regularly.
When I bought it, it came with battery maintainer (see pic) and I was using it last couple months. But I started noticing that the car would be completely dead when I take it for a spin every 7-10 days or so.
Battery was replaced just a few months ago along with ignition switch. Unfortunately I bought ignition switch before looking up on this forum and it's the cheaper option, like $15. Once replaced it never worked perfectly and I was thinking to replace it for a better one.

So the question is, could it be that cheap ignition switch is draining battery? Why wouldn't the battery charger/maintainer keep the battery charged or maybe it's broken too? I see that led lights on it come on and off and im not sure it works correctly.

PS could you please get me a link to good ignition switch and to a battery maintainer thats proven working reliably?

Please advise?
Thank you.

I have the older version of this one and it works well for me. I use the cigarette adapter for charging.

Fix the switch and see if the problem goes away.

x2 on the switch and make sure your battery terminals are tight.

Which switch would you recommend purchasing? I remember someone was mentioning pelican parts, but they have like a dozen of different brands, and I can’t find that post I’ve seen before ;(
