Battery Died after dyno tune? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Hello guys, i truly need your help as i do not know what went wrong...

So i just installed some LT headers and everything was fine, i went to dyno tune it afterwards and everything went smoothly, however after the dyno tune was done i went to start my car up but it refused to start i called the tuner and asked him what was wrong he said the battery is probably dead, i asked how come? and he said its probably used too heavily and just gave up and needs replacement ( which i seriously truly doubt it because for the past 3 years i had my car i always took good care of it and never had any issues with the battery)

So my questions are:

1. what caused the battery to die after the tune? was it the tuners fault? or did just coincidentally give up at that time (although i really doubt it)

2. if it was the tuners fault and lets say the battery couldnt handle the power the tuner tuned it at, would another battery also die after i install it? or would it be fine?

Thank you so much guys, please help me i really need your opinion on this and please tell me if you faced something similar like this.

Thanks again.

Btw, my car is completley STOCK ... the only mod is the LT headers, connected to the stock catback ... im also an automatic (L99) if that makes any difference.

The tuner doesn't adjust any part of the alternator output or battery. I would check to make sure all your grounds are good then have the battery tested. It's possible that the key was just left on and forgotten about.

My OEM battery lasted about 3yrs. Get it tested. It's free

I don't know what the hell a dyno tune has to do with ruining someone's battery.

Shit he probably swapped your battery out for a pos battery he's had laying around.

When i got my car I used it for a year and a half with absolutely no problems or trouble with the battery (my car was 4 years old at this point and had the original battery) and all of a sudden one day when i woke up and went to start the car it didnt want to start, it turned out to be the battery that died on me literally over night because I had used it the day before and it didnt give no warning or signal. I replaced the battery and everything was back to normal, so i would say it was just coincidence

A lot of times you read and write the car with the car off but the key-on. It's possible that the battery just needs a little charge, or a jump and could be working like normal after that and the alternator gets the charge up.

Doesn't take much to get a battery tested

3 years...might be time for a change

I'm running my original Delco. Car was produced in 2009 😂

I can notice it's going to die sometime soon due to kinda weak morning starts

My battery died after a year. I drove the car for a hour, turned it off to get a coffee and came back and the battery was dead and wouldn't turn over. My battery did die a couple times in the year from it not being drivin. Yours probably has a bad cell.

If your car is still under the 3yr/36k warranty go get a new battery from the dealership. I just did that a few weeks ago
