The battery may have been old but otherwise functional if used within
it's normal constraints (like not leaving an interior light on
overnight).
Its normal to be able to leave all the parking lights on overnight, not
just one interior lamp.
Normal for how many people, here (even) for example?
At a rough guess everyone.
Do you not think that you should be able to use parking lights all night
or do you think its normal to get out of bed and charge the battery a
few times a night if you want to use the parking lights.
BTW its stupid answer like you just used that makes you look like a troll.
What are you going to do if you have to park on a road with other than a
30mph speed limit which requires parking lights?
Hope you don't need a jump start in the morning?
Why would I I have a proper battery that does what it should, if yours
doesn't then get it fixed like a normal person would.
I haven't said that it wouldn't drain a faulty battery.
It wasn't a faulty batter, it wasn't a battery at 100%, like many
batteries aren't. It was able to cope with it's *normal* day to day
duties, just not an extreme case, just like many 'not new' batteries
on many perfectly otherwise functional vehicles.
At what point off 100% capacity would you consider a battery to be
cr@p, 50, 75, 99%?
Well the stop start stops working at about 75% so that's faulty.
Interesting. So in colder climes (were it hits -15 DegC) you would be
replacing the battery pretty often then?
No I would do what the manufacturers do and fit a better battery.

Do you think they last forever?
No? Why did you think you needed to ask?
Because you keep stating that they get old and stop doing their job but
are still OK.
They are consumable items like tyres.
Well, they are consumable items that's for sure.

As far as I am concerned you have trolled enough and you cango back to
half brains with someone else.
