Typical dead battery scenerio:

1) Car not started for 10 days.
2) Window doesn't crack when door is opened.
3) Battery stone dead.
4) Charge battery.
5) Turn key on, CD changer goes crazy for several minutes. You frantically are pushing any and every button to get it to stop.
6) Battery stays fresh for several days.
7) Talk to the Ford Dealer Service Advisor. He/She looks at you like you beamed in from Mars. Never heard of the problem. Talk to a Salesman. He tells you that they jump start them in the lot all the time.
8) You go to Walmart and buy a Battery Charger/Maintainer and hook it up any time you leave the car for over a week.
9) You stop back at the dealer and tell the service advisor about that puff of blue smoke you occasionally get after a cold start. Service Advisor remembers you as the "dead battery" lunatic and calls all the techs over to make sport of you. Parts Manager calls 911.
10) You leave the dealer in disgrace before the police arrive and troubleshoot everything yourself thereafter.
