Any updates on this Dabozo ? Was your battery fine or did you have to change it out ?

I use my car pretty much only on weekends, with a 40 mile roundtrip on saturday and sunday. I have to shutoff the engine at least once for every trip.

Now that it is cold I get the battery discharged warning almost everytime. Start/stop hasn't worked for months, even in the summer.

The car still does the low beam/puddle lights/tail lights theatrics on unlock, and while I sometimes get a message that the radio will be shut off to preserve the battery, it never does.

I am bit worried that my infrequent use has damaged the battery now, so I wonder if it's worth it to invest in a battery tender. Changing the battery at the dealer is probably going to be ridiculously expensive...
