I have a '95 Acura Legend GS with only 48,000 miles on it. I recently had a tune-up done on it and a new battery put in it. I didn't drive it for a week and the battery was completely dead. It had a three-year warranty on it so they told me to bring it in, but when they checked the battery, it was fine, so then they put a scope on it hoping to find what was draining it, but nothing showed up. They said it must be an intermittent problem, i.e., starter motor, alternator, etc. The owner didn't make me feel very good when he said his girlfriend's car had the same problem so he drove it until he figured it out. It turned out to be the alternator. I don't feel very safe as I am alone and driving a car that could break down any time. I'd appreciate any help you could give me. Thanks for your help.
It sounds like a battery issue. I would take it to an Autozone if you have one. they have a few high tech gadgets for batteries. But if its drained after only a week of no use. I would say it is the Battery. Unless you were having this issue before you took it in.

how did you take the battery to the shop?
did you jump the car drove it to the shop? Since you drove the car to the shop, the battery is charged by the time you get there. insist on change the battery to higher cranking power.
battery drain can be cause by alarm system. digital clock, digital dashboard. all digital elelctrinic need electric to retain its setting.
