So my car was completely dead this morning, not even a click for the starter. The battery was completely gone. Nothing in the car was left on? The road side assistance was here within an hour. I thought I would have to wait much longer! Anyway, the car starts right up and I was told to drive around and the battery indicator should turn green. Never happened. Is my battery fried and worse what could have caused it in the first place? A possible short? I am just hoping it starts in the morning. My poor CL just hit 1300 miles today. Does this soulnd familiar to anyone? Thanks.

 

do you have a high power sound system setup?

 

its still a baby.

 

then yes (although someone will prove me wrong) you probably have a short that just sucks the power straight out of the battery, or some bad connections...go to the dealer, they do anything for a car that new

 

sounds like a defective battery, if one of the cells go bad it will discharge. Do a Hydrometer test between each cell,,,,, better yet your still under warranty, take it back to the dealer and they have a meter that test the battery and shows any current draws from the car... good luck

 

The dealer put in a new battery. The original had two bad cells.
Thanks again.
