The car was running fine, with the exception of one trouble light. I was going to evaluate the iOS apps for this dongle:http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00AOIM2CC/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I received it a week ago, plugged it in and tried out a couple of apps. I left it plugged in to later evaluate more apps when I drove it again. The port is in a awkward place but I couldn't see any LEDs illuminated. 6 days later it was dead. Now it isn't.
I think it highly likely that this is a coincidence and that it's more likely that your battery is toast. If the dongle is really drawing enough power to kill the battery it would be getting hot because that power has to go somewhere. Was it hot when operating?
