Sorry if this is a daft question but when cleaning the interior this week-end I turned on the radio and after a relatively short time it switched itself off with an energy saving message.

With keys out of the ignition I get about 5 minutes before the radio switches off (lock the car and it turns off immediately). Keys in the ignition it is about 15 minutes and with keys in the accessory position it stays on permanently. Times are guesstimates. 07MY RRS TDV6

I hook up a Ctek on supply mode via the towing electrics adaptor for exactly this function Visitor from fullfatrr.com

My point was that of all the cars I've owned the RRS seems to have the shortest time for the radio to turn off without the engine running.

It's not that the radio and interior lights take power, it's that every ECU in the car is awake and active. Add them up and you're looking at a decent current draw. Maybe other brands use a different EUC strategy meaning lower current draw.

Are you sure your battery is good, I had the same thing as you (less than 15 minutes sat in the car, doors closed and nothing except the radio on) so I got my mechanic to use his fancy battery tester, turns out only 5/8 of the cells in the battery were good but you'd never have known it from starting / running etc.
