Well just to update everyone, again today it was dead so I had it jumped by Subaru and took it to the dealer.

They tested it and it failed so they replaced it with a new battery under warranty still ��

Good for you. It is not worth messing with a questionable battery-- most cost less than $100 and can leave you stuck in the worst place at the worst time.

OP: btw Panasonic IMO has horrid batteries and so does my local Toyota dealer (Toyota battery). I would recommend a higher quality in the future if you can help it. Ever Start and the yellow/red Duralast(?) I had on my pickup for almost 10yrs w/o issues. Our Rav4 went through 3 Panasonic/Toyota batteries in 2yrs. My old Celi went through 2 as well but in 3yrs.

yep. Mine read 12.1 and the next day 11.44. Nothing but ticks. (left trunk open and doors open+radio on for well over 4hrs) Would not start but my lights and everything else worked.

After jump starting it, took a 30min drive to get it back to 12.63 on mine.
