Why does the car being permium matter?
More electronic systems means higher instantaneous current draw.
Seems like it’s perfect for me, no?
Hey, if you get a fine deal on it and it provides all the CCA you need then that’s a win in my book. You should still look into trickle charging if not driving the car for more than a week. The battery can get damaged.
Don’t waste your money on an AGM battery. Unless you have a premium luxury vehicle (i.e. Audi) and the extra cash to burn, just find a decent brand battery with as much CCA as you can fit under the hood.
Get yourself a 12V trickle charger. Most quality units will fully charge your battery and keep it in a “floating” mode to top it off, letting you keep it connected to the car for several days at a time.
I concur. Get the alternator checked. The diode might be giving up the ghost and causing reverse-current, draining the battery even while off.
