Car battery sometimes dies.

[dorpus]

Three times now, I've had the car battery get so low that I could not start. The first time, I had it towed to the shop. They couldn't find anything wrong with it, and just recharged the battery. The second and third times, I waited 15 minutes and the battery charged itself and the engine was able to start.

Apparently, something is causing a parasitic drain on the battery, but it only happens sometimes?? What could it be? I have a 2010 Forte. I know my door was not ajar or anything like that.

Disconnect the ground wire battery charged. Use a volt meter put between the ground wire and battery terminal. After under dash lights go out pull a fuse at a time until you find the one with the drain. Reply back when you find which fuse has the problem.
Any thing over .2 volt.look for.
