Did you leave any cell phone chargers plugged into the cig lighter? Leaving dash cams and radar detectors plugged in can cumulatively use enough current to draw down the battery even if they are in standby if left for an extended period of time.

Nope! Nothing but the camera and the radar detector are plugged in. The radar detector require no power when the vehicle is off. The dash cam however might. I'll see if it has some sort of standby timer that might be keeping it on longer than necessary.

I use an automatic battery cutoff device in my truck that disconnects the battery completely if the voltage falls below 11.8v from sitting too many days without being started. I ran the reset button cable Into the cab and under my door seal so it sticks out of the upright windshield molding beside my visor. If I get in it after several days of not driving it and it’s not connected... I simply press the button and it reconnects the battery for 1 minute so it can be started. Saves me from ever having to jump the battery. I see it available on Amazon. It’s called the Li Lead Auto Starter Car Battery Protector.

That's a pretty neat gadget! Thanks for the heads up!
