Thanks for your reply Kevin. The solution is to bring the battery indoors for charging.

Any battery will eventually run flat if a full state of charge isn't maintained irrespective of the fancy name the manufacturer gives it. It doesn't help that our cars draw a significant current for up to 20 minutes each time they're locked and unlocked. I've had battery trouble recently too.
