Discharging every 6-8 weeks

Just wondering you guys are experiencing the similar frustration of having to fully charge from 'low battery' every couple of months? I do drive a little (probably 30-40 miles/week school run's etc), but in the current lockdown of course, she does not get a proper run.

I previously took it back to BMW early on in lockdown v1 and they told me there was a discharge issue with keyless access, so they replaced the door handle. If it's common 'discharge speed' at the moment, I can deal with it, if it isn't, I need to get back on them again.

I charge it probably 12 hours at a time. By the sound of it I should be using the AGM setting on my CTEK, rather than the 'standard' mode?
