17 1SS, 7,000 miles. 83 degrees here today. Never had even a hint of this issue before. After a short drive, car sits for 2 hours. Go to start, nothing but starter clicks and wild light show. Battery low message on dash. Put charger on for maybe 5 minutes, fires off like nothing is wrong. Gauge starts off around 13 volts, climbs to about 14.5 and fluctuates about .5 volt while running. Shut it off, and put my charger on but now it won’t take a charge. Put battery tender on and within a minute it says fully charged. Weird.
I’m thinking the battery is toast. I stored it in an in un heated garage this winter but I had a battery tender on the entire time, and it lit off immediately coming out of storage.
