My 2016 as camaro is dead, I tried jumping it but got nothing. When I say nothing I mean no electrical power. User the key fob in the cup holder and try starting it and get nothing no lights at all.

I keep getting emailed from Onstar that battery is low, When I hook the car up to a charger it cranks fine, lights work, but won't fire over. It pops a bit, but won't fire over.

after replacing 2 batteries in my low mileage 2016 2SS the dealer updated the battery management and infotainment software. Seemed to have fixed it after 3 weeks it still started. Then it sat for a month during christmas and was totally dead.
So not sure what the problem is now. The cars on the dealers lot sit for many weeks and dont go dead, why the is he suggesting i get a battery tender. Probably cause he cant find the problem. |

My '17 RS Vert with 8000 miles and original battery has been driven only 3 times since the end of October. It starts and runs just fine.

I've been having dead battery issues. Parasitic draw is pretty bad. .187 - .278 amps with everything off.
Hooked up multimeter and pulled fuses nothing. Buddy of mine that's a tech at Toyota suggested pull all the fuses and insert one at a time back. Finally found the problem. Rear fuse box F23 BCM 1 and front fuse box F26 BCM 2 cause it to spikes to .187 from .011 problem finding is both fuses cause it to jump so pulling one at a time didn't allow it to drop. Have to have both fuses out at the same time. Next step have to figure out what's up with the BCM |

Well, I was having weird issues along with the battery drain. Window roll down roll up messages, mirror dimming intermittently not working, side impact sensor not working...Those were caused by the bad BCM.
Battery drain was totally a different issue - my aftermarket Helix tail lights! Damn! I got one of the early units and I don’t have a harness. Oh well.

Just purchased a 2019 2SS. The battery went dead after three days of not driving. The dealer told me to store the key fobs in a metal box, so they do not try to communicate with the car all the time. Seems odd.

It's either a bad battery or more likely some parasitic draw that sucks the battery dry. The dealer's advice is a mildly ridiculous brush-off, you might want to try another service advisor or another dealer altogether, they have tools to diagnose these electrical issues. You can also try to diagnose it yourself with a multimeter and systematically removing and replacing fuses, but frankly, since you just bought the car, it should be the dealership's problem and I'd expect them to go the extra mile right after a purchase.

Very odd, considering I hang my keys right inside the door from my garage just a few feet from 2 of my vehicles (2018 Colorado, 2019 Equinox, 2020 Camaro) and they never have battery issues. In fairness, the Colorado is stored in the driveway. However, The Camaro and the Equinox both have RKE and Passive Access Operation.

On my second battery with no solution. Even 30 minutes off of the battery tender, it won’t start.
Does anyone have a clear cut solution. I’m hesitant to bring the car to a dealer only to receive some bs answer
