Hey....I had started losing access to my remote features constantly and opted to replace the factory battery with this:

https://www.batteriesplus.com/productdetails/battery/sli/sli48agmdp

After initially getting a bad battery, it resolved the issues I was running into. Then without warning last week, I got in the car to start it after not driving for a week and it didn't have enough charge to start. I charged it up and it seemed fine. Then I was waiting to get my emissions done and had the accessories on for a bit and it wouldn't start again. Charged it up and fine. Now my remote features are going into battery save mode again. Any ideas?

Did you reset the BMS?

Test the alternator.

The BMS reset should fix it.

I’ve reset BMS twice. I don’t know how to check the alternator. Guess it’s to the dealer I go.

Could be the battery. I personally would not have gone with that battery. Reading a lot of bad reviews
