battery

My car is 4 years*old, 30,000 miles only, and recently I had to change the batteries in both key fobs within a few months of each other. What surprised me is the 3 volt battery read 2.8 volts in each case. I would have expected that the voltage would have to fall to say 2.5 before they would...

I always replace my Car Batteries after 4 years. Best auto maint decision that I ever made over 25 years ago. I have never been Stalled or inconvenienced. I used to wait until it died and it was below zero and there were 20 other people in line to get a battery. This is the no-hassle way...

When I'm sitting in the car waiting on something and with the radio on, I will get a "Battery Discharge Warning" message. It comes on almost right away and will come on every 2 minutes or so for maybe 3 seconds. Do I have a weak battery or is this business as usual? The car is new and I've had...

Has any checked the water in the their battery? Does it need to be checked ever 6 or 12 months? Thank, Marty

This problem has to have a simple solution but I have not been able to find it. Parked the Genny 3 days ago and apparently the person last in the trunk did not close it firmly enough (although there was no indication it was open from dash lights). It drained the battery right down to the last...

Yesterday evening I was perusing forum discussions about Torque OBD Scanner Software and ran across this post: "Quick heads up from a very experienced auto technician, DO NOT EVER DISCONNECT A VEHICLE BATTERY WITHOUT AN ALTERNATE POWER SOURCE. I.e. a 6v lantern battery will service hooked up...

A tough question I know. For the last 25 years I have replaced my Cars Battery every 4 years and it was the best Car maintenance decision that I have ever made. I usually picked out a nice warm day in the fall and bought a Diehard at Sears and replaced it myself. I keep my cars 8 years and...

Recently I took the battery out of my 2012 Genesis 5.0 R-Spec to charge it. When I reinstalled the battery several electronic displays appeared not to work. Specifically the tach and fuel gauge don't register and the air bag warning light is now on. The manual says to reset the features as shown...

Every couple weeks I go out to start my 2009 Genesis, and find it dead. No dome light when door is opened, no headlights, no dash lights, no tail lights and no start. Totally dead. I jump start the car and everything works for a couple weeks with no problems. AAA checked the battery and said...

I still have the OEM battery on my 2009 Genesis 3.8. I'm noticing period lags when pressing the push start or unlocking the doors. Can the dealer test to see if the battery is due for a replacement or should I simply replace it for peace of mind? Also, is there any real savings by trying...

Went out this afternoon and the battery was dead on my "new" car. It had sat for 3 days without starting. Checked voltage and it was at 5. Recharged it, started the car, and voltage went to 13.8--------so alternator is working. I also know the car needed jumping to get it started when it was...

Recently started having a problem with my Key Fob not wanting to work so I contacted my Dealership where they informed me it would be $69 to replace the battery and program the chip in it back to my car. I decided to pop the remote open myself, just used a thin flathead jewelers scewdriver and...

Last summer we came home from a two week cruise to find our 2012 Genesis 3.8L had a dead battery. The dealer service dept confirmed that this is a common problem with this car - in fact they have the same problem with cars they have parked on their dealer lot for too long without driving them...

When my 2012 Genesis 3.8 was 6 weeks old, the battery died completly while in my garage. The dealer found nothing wrong other than the totally dead battery. Has anyone else had a similar premature battery failure like this??

Does anyone know how to change the battery in the FOB, not sure if there is one or if it has to be recharged thru the key slot on the lower center dash. Any advice is appreciated, thanks.

I am wondering if any other Genesis owners are having as many problems with their key fobs as I am. Last week, my key fob would not unlock the doors nor would it allow me to crank the car. I had to put the key fob in the dash slot to get home. When I got home, I cracked open the case, removed...

I am getting ready to change the battery on my Genesis. On some cars, after you disconnect the battery, it requires you to enter a code. Does the nav require you to enter a code upon connecting the battery?

Fellow Members. I will be in Florida this winter and will leave my 2012 V6 w/tech & premium in garage in IL. for two months. Will I need to trickle charge it while it sits or will battery stay charged enough to start when I get back? Thanks for your input.

Strange thing happened today with my '09 3.8 non-tech. Drove to a restaurant with the wife and baby. Parked and shut off the car. As we walked into the restaurant, I hit the lock button on the keyfob and didn't hear a beep. I walked closer and tried again. No dice. I thought, maybe the Fob...

So the battery on my 2009 Genesis died tonight. I got a jump and dropped it off at the dealer for a new battery 1st thing in the morning. Any idea what I should expect to pay? FWIW, when my wife's battery died on her Honda Odyssey, the local Honda dealer charged $95 for an OEM replacement...
