Anyone else experiencing this New Gremlin?

Yes, for over a year. I put a trickle charger on it over night when it does. Usually when you drive short distances for several day. When I drive for 30 minutes or more it doesn't do it.

It happens to me all of the time. I only work a mile away from home, that doesn't give my battery a lot of time to charge while driving. Every few months I have to connect my battery charger and top it off.

It could also mean you have a bad battery.

None of my business but if f your not getting your engine up to full operating temperature every time you drive it, your engine is slowly being destroyed.

I understand how vehicles work, I also understand idling vehicles is really bad too, so what am I supposed to do, drive around for 20 minutes on my way to and from work every day? I guess I should have kept my old house 20 miles away rather than moving and saving hundreds of dollars a month in fuel between my wife and I...

Cranking it slowly destroys it not cranking it slowly destroys it... On a long enough timeline all our survival rates fall to zero...

Well, you were all correct. Went to Autozone and it failed the test.

Got an AGM Duralast with 850 CCA and 4 yr warranty thrown in and problem solved.

Thanks, everybody. Love this forum.

Dude, Arid-zona. I'm shocked the battery in my 22 is still good.

Even my A.S.S. started functioning again (really need to find a better acronym for that).

No, ASS is completely appropriate in my opinion. I'm one of the haters.

It started 4 days ago .... I parked and 15 minutes later got this message on my Ford Pass!! Now it shows on my display everytime i turn off the car. Any ideas?

It is time to buy a new battery.

Hit up the Starbucks drive thru like all the rest of us - that usually chews up 15 minutes right there


And if that isn’t enough to charge your battery, after you get your mocha chai light latte frap, head over to the Chik Fil A drive thru for a shake - that’ll take another 15-29 minutes

I live in BFE, Starbucks is 30 minues away, Chick-fil-A is an hour away. My town is 7500.

See - that will be enough to charge your battery!
