Argelius Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 Very odd behavior which has happened a couple of times. If I'm working on the interior of my car for 30 minutes or so with the doors open and the radio on, the 12V battery seems to discharge rapidly -- to the point the car wont start at all until I get the battery jumped. This isn't occurring with the headlights and AC fan on -- just the radio and a couple of door open. Anyone else encountered this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our battery discharged twice now but can't recall what it was that caused it. I sort of believe a door wasn't closed all the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregoryT Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Has this continued to happen. I was doing the same thing for about 30 minutes, but my kids were also in the car and turned everything that could light up on. After about 30 minutes I tried to start the car and it would not start. Waited another 10 mintues and it started. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexus GS430 Guzzler Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 With current hybrid battery technology, the battery does not hold the same charge in the winter as it does in the summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
