Have a read of this and perform the tests. Battery shouldn`t go flat after 5-10mins http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1225724099

should not go the flat te quick, check that the battery is charged full, did you charge the battery from new or did you just put on car, as some batterys are half charged when you buy them, other than that alternator may not be charging the battery up properly.
