This post is related to my 2016 Touring.
This morning went out to start car, would not turn over, cranked a little bit then went dead. Keep in mind this is a new battery (replaced 8/2021 at dealer). In Nov went out to start, dead. Charged it up, took about 5 hrs. Started fine. Took it in to dealer, they had it couple hrs, checked charging sys, said everything was fine.
No problems until today. I checked battery voltage before putting a charger on it, 12.5v, after couple minutes it jumped to 12.6v. Have a charger on it now.
I checked the voltage after the Nov dealer check for a couple weeks. Voltage was always 12.6v to 12.8v. Gave up checking figuring something didn't shut down properly and drained the battery. Thought it was a one-time occurrance.
Car is kept in an un-heated garage. Temps last night were in the mid 20's, garage temp was in the 40's, maybe low 50's.
?Do I have any options with dealer as far as replacing the battery, even pro-rated is fine by me? If I can upgrade it to a higher CCA (if possible), I will pay the diff.
I have no aftermarket add-ons or anything that could cause a parasitic drain, in fact I have the dome lights set to off so they never come on. I turn everything off before I kill the engine.
