Default ZR1 battery drain

On a 2009 Zr1 the battery goes dead if you dont drive it for a week or two. I went to the dealer and they said it was fine. but my other C6 dose drain like that. Any advice

Advance / Vatozone can run a battery test for free that shows if draws a current while off (draining your battery). If not may just be a bad battery.

I have not heard of an issue with the zr1.

c6z's had an issue that a service ecu update took care of. Until that came out we just left it in reverse when parking and that allowed the ecu to completly shut down.

Try that. Also 90% of the people feel the AC-delco batteries suck.... so.....

We have seen a couple of these with a BCM issue. Normal is less then a 40 milliamp draw, but willing to bet the flat rate tech at your dealership too lazy to check. Secondly, Delco batteries do suck. I have a shelf of brand new dead batteries.
Good Luck

You must live where it gets nasty cold. Delco Battery's have always been my favorite. I replaced the one in my 01 Vette 1 time in 8 years! We have them in all our Vehicles and they keep on keeping on! When they go out if they do I will buy another Delco. But I live in North Texas so it doesnt get and stay too cold.
