FU: PSA: OBD II dongles draw power when the vehicle is off.
#7
Corroborating back up evidence - I've got one of those ODB-connected dangly things from the insurance company to track my driving habits - NO RELATION TO THIS POST - and I felt like the car's been having more trouble starting lately as the weather's cooled off. Last night it didn't have enough juice to start.

A couple quick google searches suggest that the ODB may be directly connected to the battery so it would seem that this might indeed be a possibility. Jumped the car and ran it for half an hour this morning (it usually gets 5-15 minutes drive time at a go) and now it's starting up like a champ again.
