battery

Has anyone ever used one of these? Does it do anything at all? They are cheap and looks easy to install, but it sounds like snake oil or one of those $69 perfoermance chips. http://www.ebay.com/itm/170700743637?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

Do I need codes to enter into the Navigation and Audio systems to reactivate them after any power disruption? In my last three cars (2 Acuras and a Lexus) I was provided a radio code and also a navigation code for the 2 Acuras that had navigation systems. The systems were disabled when the...

In my normal maintenance I usually check the levels in the cells in the battery. I have lots of stuff in the trunk making this a real chore. I was going to empty the trunk to look at the battery, but it looked like it was sealed. I haven't had a chance to go to the dealer, soooo is the battery...

Re: my 2009 Genesis sedan I let my genesis sit and now the battery is dead. But I cannot open the trunk to charge it since none of my 2 keys work to unlock it (I think the primary key does that and I've lost it). I don't remember if I received 3 keys or 2. The 2 keys I have cannot open...

I parked and locked my 2012 genesis for 5 days with temps going below 32 deg (about 27) at night and above 50 during the day. After the 5th day the battery was dead, smart key could not unlock door. After jump start and diving 200 miles, no farther problem. Dealer service manager said battery...

What should be the typical battery drain (current flow) in milliamps on a new 2011 Genesis V8 4.6L when the vehicle is left parked for several weeks? Am concerned that car might not start upon my return after I have left it in an airport parking lot. Hyundai Customer Service won't give me an...

I might be first in the wave here, but this is something to be watching for - My battery died in my 2009 4.6 Genny. It was on a charger for 24 hours and would still not take a charge. The wife called the dealer and they picked it up (on the back of a truck) and brought it in for service, the...

My wife only puts about 6K miles per year on a car...her new Genesis spends a lot of time in the garage...we call her cars the "Garage Queen" On her old BMW we used to keep a battery charger (maintainer) Battery Tender Plus connected to the car.....it was recommended by BMW because of the low...

Have any of you guys used a BatteryTender or Trickle Charger to charge the battery on the Genesis? If so, did you connect it directly to the battery terminals or did you charge the battery using the posts under the hood of the car?

About once a week, after noticing the battery is losing power, I find my 2009 3.8 will not turn over. I get it jumped and drive 50 mi to the dealership and it has some ooomph in it. So they can't figure it out either. I left it there 48 hrs but they wanted their loaner back so I'm no further...

have a genesis 09 and have dead battery 4 times . Each time it is if I leave the car unused ( not driven) for more than 3 days. I have recently replaced the battery at the service dept at the local dealer as they said it was a bad battery. Well I just had another dead car after not driving it...

I parked my car in the garage and accientally left the driver's door ajar (latched but not closed). It was bright and I did not notice that the interior lights were on. A few days later when I went in the garage at night I noticed the underdoor (illumintes the ground under the door when...

Anyone know if there are remote jumpstart posts under the hood? I know the battery is in the trunk. I would look in the owners manual but my car is a dealer over 3 hours from my home and to be honest they dont know whay they are doing. thx

Has anyone tried checking the water level in the Genesis battery? Most batteries have either screw off covers or a pry off cover. I can't figure out how to get into this. Or is it a sealed battery? Just would like to check the level when I change the oil and check other fluid levels. Thanks...

The battery in the key fob for my 2009 3.8 Genesis seems to be dying. I have to stand closer to the car to be able to open the door than I did a month or two ago. Has anyone replaced the battery in their key fob? There is no obvious way to open it and I want to avoid damaging it. I assume it...

I am taking delivery of my 2010 4.6 with Tech package next Monday.. I have been very excited about getting the car until I started reading the "Problems" topic in this forum. I have had three Lexus LS models over the past 12 years and never had a problem with any of them. What's the deal with...

Does anyone know if attaching a trickle charger to the battery for extended storage periods is a good idea? Can damage be done to the electronics? Where is the best place to make the connection? Or, is pulling the main fuse, suggested in the Owner's Manual, a better idea? Would this stop all...

Can anyone help me with this one ? I like to watch the odd DVD while I am waiting for my wife at the shopping mall. Approximately every two minutes a message comes up on the screen saying that the video system should not be operated without the car running to prevent accidental discharge of...

I'm new to the forum so forgive any unintentional errors as I learn. I wasn't able to start my Genesis one day after the car hadn't been used for ~1 Week. I disconnected the battery per the OM instructions. Upon reconnecting, the security alarm horn and external lights remained on and the car...

I left my trunk open for 8 hours, I have LEDs (single emitter per light) two lights total. The batter would not even click in the starter solenoid. Took 6 hours on a 10 amp charge to even get it to the point of being able to crank. Does that seem acceptable?
