Bad Battery?

Hey Guys...I'm Baaaa-aa-ck.

Anyways. Have any of you had any problems in the past with your batteries in an 02 3.5? Twice now, I've come out to a dead battery. One time it was around 90, the last time (yesterday) it was about 50 out. When I came out to try and start it, I got three or four clicks and then it went dead. In fact, the battery was so low that the computer could not even start up and lost all of my customization settings. The door locks, lights, and horn didn't work either. Battery voltage was around 5, and when I hooked up my smart charger, the LCD read about 4%.

Several factors to consider.

1. I have a sirius satelite radio hardwired into the garage door open circuit. I have a bazooka woofer in the back. I've left both on overnight before with absolutletly no problems.

2. I think it may be OE. It might be time to replace it anyways.

3. When the car is running, the DIC shows between 14 & 15 volts. So, I know the system is charging.

Ideas or comments?

Re: Bad Battery?

Time for a new one. If problem persists, start troubleshooting later.
