Kids kill batteries

jeudi 11 septembre 2014

I let my boy sit in the car while he waited for me for over two hours. During that time he ran the AC, Headlights, radio and windshield wipers (the fu$&ing windshield wipers!) while the engine was not running. The obvious occurred and he killed the battery. Luckily my wife was nearby and I had jumpers in my car and I was able to get home. The 15 minute drive seemed to have done the trick because the next day it started.



I continued to drive about 50 miles the next day, and thought its gotta be charged now. Later that same night it didn't crank, but the lights came on. I had my wife jump my car again and it started so it's definitely a soon to be dead battery.



My questions are:



if my battery was on its way out wouldn't I get a battery symbol on my dash or check control?



Can I just have my battery recharged to 100% at auto zone? ( I read here that the our cars do not fully recharge the battery if it has gone below a certain %level of charge)



If I get a new battery can I use something other than a BT tool to program and register it? Like BMWhat app?
