'07 Type S engine hesitation after stop.

I tried looking for a thread on this couldn't find much. So yesterday my battery light came on, i thought it was odd battery is only 6 months old, that night it worked fine light wasnt on. Today on my way to work, the light came back on, i stopped at a stop sign, then I step on the gas, car barely moved, rpm was at about 2k, let off hit again and it went fine. Did it at least twice to work. On the way nav system shut off. So I turned off AC and music. Is this a battery problem? Would that cause engine hesitation?

Your battery terminals are either loose or corroded .


Tighten remove replace as necessary

Yeah we were doing that, dumbass who owned the car before me installed a kill switch, it came loose and also broke circuit, drained the battery, took it off started right up. Should be good now. Who the fuck does that to a completely stock car?
