On my 850 the draining battery was caused by the glove box light not turning off. The plastic glove box door warped over time enough that the switch no longer turned off when the door was closed. This is a common 850 malady. I don't know if the S70 fixed this design/manufacturing weakness or not.

I fixed mine by gluing a nickel into place as a striker plate for the switch. This fix has been working for about four years now!
