Battery Died--is my tune ok? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I have an oft Stg 1. Battery died a week ago apparently and I just noticed and jumped it. Driving around car feels sluggish for some reason.

Any possible issue with my tune? All my radio settings etc were erased so it got me thinking.

I hate to break it to you... but when your battery dies your car earns a "totaled" title. It causes the car to feel sluggish.

partout?

or maybe he left his OFT plugged in for the week which drained the battery

Omg I think you're right. Just came out and this is how it looks.

Wtf!?!? Is there a battery warranty or something to fix this?

Nope, battery is considered a "wear" item and cannot be covered under warranty

actually, just noticed the trunk was ajar. Must have hit the button by mistake a week ago.

It died a slow death by trunk light.

Try charging your battery with a charger, 6-10 amp smart charger overnight to bring your battery back to 100% full charge and make it healthy again. Not saying that this will make your car run smoother, but it will prevent you from needing to buy one for no reason in 3 months. Despite popular opinion, just driving around does not charge up your battery.

So, if driving around does not charge up battery .. by which magic and from where charge appears in battery after jumpstarting car with flat battery and well .. driving around?

Imho there is some alien conspiracy going on.

Yes... it does.

Now it's certainly better to charge it in a controlled environment so you don't damage the battery or alternator. But if the alternator didn't charge the battery you'd only get a few starts out of it...

What poodles said... the alternator charges the battery more than it is used otherwise it would eventually die on its own. It might not be by a lot but it is some
