Your ORA Ballet Cat’s 12V battery is probably being drained by a module that won’t sleep or an aftermarket accessory.
Check the battery, accessories and sleep current first—repeated overnight drains can leave you stranded.
Why an ORA Ballet Cat drains its 12V battery overnight
The Ballet Cat is an EV, but the battery that usually goes flat is the small 12V auxiliary battery, not the high-voltage traction pack. That little battery runs the body control module, door locks, interior lights, telematics, infotainment wake-up and keyless-entry receivers. If one of those circuits stays awake after you park, it can pull a parasitic draw all night. A weak or aged 12V battery makes the same draw worse and may fail even if the drain is modest.
Check these first: battery age and resting voltage, terminal condition, aftermarket dashcam or OBD dongle, phone charger left in the socket, interior or boot light staying on, and any door, hood or hatch ajar switch that is not reporting closed. On ORA models, also suspect the telematics box or app polling, infotainment not sleeping, and a body control module that stays awake because it thinks a door is open.
