Readers Digest version....

After the 6th documented occurrence of the car being brick dead after sitting for 3 days without a battery tender, this time in 50+ degree weather, the dealer agreed that they just need to man up and replace my AGM battery.

Last time, I had Roadside Assist jumpstart it and drove it into the dealer. They removed the battery, drained it and recharged and swore that this time would be magic. So I told them the next time it didn’t start, it would be delivered to them on a flatbed and they would need to change the battery.
I found mine dead twice in two weeks last February and I daily drive mine. The second time it couldn’t be jump started so it was also sent to the dealer on a flatbed.

I didn’t know about bad batteries and the havoc they cause so I was at the mercy of their diagnosis. They said nothing was wrong and it started with a jump. It’s been fine since so I wonder if they actually replaced it.
