Default RS 3.0 xA's batteries dying?

I did a quick search but could not find anything.

We have a few sitting on our lot and I guess they have been having a problem with the batteries constantly dying. This only happens with the RS 3.0's though, no other xA's.

Has anyone heard of this being a common problem?

ive had to xb and both of the batteries went dead within the first couple months like 2 or 3, and i took it back to the dealer and they told me that there was nothing wrong and i tild them that they were stupid and didnt know what they were talking about, needless to say i gave it a little while longer and then it went dead completley, so i switched it out for a good optima

My '06 xA's battery went completey flat after sitting in my driveway 1 recent cold weekend (Detroit area). I searched recalls, service bulletins, etc. Nothing. I contacted the local dealership & they admitted they had started seeing a few xA's coming in with dead batteries.

I've always had problems with my scion holding a charge. Even after I swapped the stock battery out.

We have 7 xA's on the lot, it only happens with the RS 3.0's. I know it doesn't make any sense, that's why I posted it here.
