570S battery question - does anyone actually just daily drive these things?
Citation de Primrose Scatchard le 19 août 2026, 8 h 24 minI've had my 570S for about six months now and I'm still trying to figure out the whole battery situation. I don't drive it every day, maybe three or four times a week, and I keep it on a trickle charger when it's parked in the garage. But I've noticed that even with the charger on, sometimes the car feels sluggish to start or throws random warnings about the battery. I've read on some forums that these cars never really "shut off" completely, like the alarm and telematics and door modules all stay awake and drain power, even when the car is just sitting there. One owner mentioned that the OEM charger can sometimes fail to sense the battery state properly and needs to be reset by pressing the button several times . That's interesting because I have the factory charger and I've never done that. Another thing I've read is that just starting the car and letting it idle doesn't help, it actually drains the battery more because the start itself uses a lot of power, what actually helps is driving it so the alternator can give it a proper recharge . I'm based in Khalifa City and I've been thinking I should just get the battery checked properly because the heat here is brutal and I don't want to get stranded. I'm looking for Exclusive McLaren car battery installation in Khalifa City from a workshop that actually understands these cars and can do a proper diagnostic to see if it's the battery itself or if one of the modules is staying awake and draining it . I've seen a few places around that claim they can do it, but I'm skeptical about whether they have the right tools like Diagcode to scan it properly . Has anyone here had their McLaren battery replaced at a shop in Khalifa City or nearby and had a good experience?
