With all due respect guys, why are we debating as to how we should reduce the current drawn from a new battery on a new car in order to ensure it fires up???

I have a 4 yr old Ford Focus and I often leave it for a month without starting and it fires up in 1 second as soon as I turn the key!!! There is no excuse for Volvo or any other manufacturer if the battery is dead because you left your car idle for a week... It does not make sense to me, this is unacceptable. They should put a bigger battery or sort the electrics / ac management out.

Back in 1920 maybe it would be OK. Not today.
