How to customise startup/Battery issues


Hi all,
Recently bought a 2010 3.6 tdv8. But it has died on me couple of tines already. Flat battery.
Don't know what draining the battery.
Also when I press start/stop to turn ignition on, so many interior lights and air con starts on its own as well as the Nav screen.

Is there a way to disable all these lights somehow, so that they don't start on its own. Attaching battery pic too, is this a correct battery.

One of the sidesteps is not retracting fully too.

That earth wire doesn’t look right to me sir... could you take another pic slightly further away?

Thank you Craig, posting better pic.
Got the battery health check done at halfords, as per them its ok, and has started fine today.
Misbehaving sidestep is retracting better but still not fully.
Let's see how it goes.

Is the earth strap bolted onto the battery connection? It doesn’t look like it is from your pics! And secondly, it should have a pyrotechnic unit between the battery and the wires... that appears to be missing sir!
