I unplug every usb from the car before turning off. Any idea what's causing my issue?

*Also, I've been having a burned plastic smell coming from the vents when iddle. Not sure if related.

thanks!

Should have updated my post above - this is where my quest led me regarding the battery issue:

As far as the burning plastic smell, check if the plastic divider at the back of the engine bay is still in one piece. I definitely don't think that these two are related.

Good luck!
