Default Battery Drain

I was glad for the battery information, however what happens when you are on an extended trip and don't have access to re-charge the Spyder battery?
I have contacted BRP about this battery drain problem that has left us stranded a couple of times, but no response as of yet. We are on the second battery and still having the same problem. I owned Goldwings before and never had this problem. There should be no reason why you should have to charge the battery after 3 or 4 days of down time. I have talked with two different Spyder dealerships and they are at a loss.

My Spyder is a 2009 that I purchased new in 01/11 and I enjoy riding it, however I now have my doubts if they have the "bugs" worked out.

Currently I will be making arrangements for my third trip to the dealership and leaving it until the problem is resolved. We have even cancelled our trip to the Can-Am Spyder Event in Cherokee, NC as we are afraid of being stranded again.
