Mine almost died because I hadn't driven anywhere in weeks.

I think that is the main reason. Looking online it seems like battery drain is a common issue. Even still without driving it much I am suspicious of a battery biting the dust after 4 months. It took over 12 hours on a charger just to get it to turn the car on.

You could be right. It might be worth getting it looked at.

Yeah, this sounds like a short. I had something happen a few years back where the first place I took it, they said it was the alternator. After replacing it, battery was dead again in a couple of days. Then I had to take it to better place that had a diagnostic tool, which could locate the short. But by then, I was out 300$ for an alternator I didn't even need.
 
@Camfantasy They had the ScanDisk 1TB SSD for $119 at Costco!

Now I'm wondering if I hook up both laptops via the cable with the shazam on it, can I just move shit over directly :headscratch:

We have a 2015 Forester. Haven't had any battery issues yet. I'm not much for car mechanics, but, I do have peoples cars die at the landfill where I work and most of the time, scrubbing the cables is enough to get a consistent charge and get the car going again. I know that seems like a captain obvious thing, but so many people miss that one.

They look fairly clean but maybe I can do a once over just to make sure.
