Khalidiya is one of Abu Dhabi's more established residential neighborhoods, with a mix of villas on quiet tree-lined streets and mid-rise apartment towers closer to the Khalidiyah Mall corridor. It's also one of the areas where cars sit parked for longer stretches - either in a villa driveway during the workday or in a mall parking structure while someone shops or runs errands.
That combination of long parking periods and, in some villas, older electrical wiring in garages, makes Khalidiya a neighborhood where slow parasitic battery drain shows up more often than in areas with constant vehicle turnover.
