SOS!!! Help needed: Alarm going off!

[AntStark]

So, guys and gals. My car’s alarm did not go off last night! It’s raining here, atm. When there's a break in the weather I shall
Go and inspect the boot area for rain.
The battery was new in September 2924 @AntStark but as you're rightly pointed out, my car has not been driven. Would this still affect the battery?

That’s good news then! Batteries will discharge and degrade over time, your car will draw a small current even when not being driven. For mine that takes about a week of not using the car before it’s flat 🫤. You’d need a multimeter to check the charge it’s got. Assume it starts ok ?

Yes, it’s starting after I had to charge the battery, Ant. The steering is very, very heavy and there’s a very weird noise coming from under my car.
