Yup. As I'm working from home I don't get out as much, but it's driven at least once a week for shopping and such, and I have a scheduled remote start every 2 days between those trips, so it's been 6 days since driven and 2 days since the last remote start.
How long do you run it when you remote start it? May be taking more out of your battery than your putting back in. Idling doesn't put much back really needs to be driven.

I was thinking that might be the issue, or just computer foolishness. It runs for the timed 15 minutes, I'd rather have a bit of charge loss than the truck not running for a week straight (can't really decide which is better for the engine though). I did finally hear back from Start-X and have it on order.
