Why does the battery in my volt keep dying?

What is your question?

If I dont run my car for a day or two my battery completely dies. No lights come on etc. I have to jump it. Have had the batteries checked for dead cells etc. I have replaced the battery and it still does this. No other issues. No lights on etc. There is nothing that points toward any other issue. I have made sure that lights etc are not being left on as well. I double and triple check.

What makes this problem better or worse?

When I dont start it for 24 to 48 hrs.

How long has your 2012 Chevrolet Volt had this problem?

Hello, either there is some kind of parasitic draw -- in other words, some kind of electrical source continuing to drain the battery when the vehicle is otherwise "off", or there is a charging system malfunction. Testing - hands on - with a digital voltmeter / ohmmeter is needed to see what draw is occurring and testing will be needed in each circuit to see if it is maybe causing the draw. In light of not having any draw, further charging system testing will be needed. www.repairpal.com/repair-shops
