I suggested she get a battery maintainer and plug it in when she's not driving it. She may let it sit for a week or two weeks before she drives it. I believe something is draining her battery. I know when I parked mine for awhile it acted a bit different than it normally does if I drive it frequently.. Someone on this site indicated a low battery does cause issues. Any advice you could suggest I could share with her?
Thanks for your time

The most common drain on a battery is the Alarm Siren. The internal batteries leak and short out the circuit board.
She can try removing fuse #9 in the big fuse box under the hood. Just verify that is the correct fuse for the alarm. It should be listed on the card in the fuse box.
Here's a link to a post I did that shows how to replace or remove the alarm siren. The drains should also be cleaned while she's in there.
