Battery tender

Yeah that happened when I had my 2012. I tried using the included charger and then jumping it but both didn't work, eventually had to get it towed in to get it restarted. I since changed to a 2014 and on the last factory software update they said they adjusted it to give a few more times it would allow jump start attempts before it cut out.

Good luck with it but if battery is dead and you cant get it restarted you can always have it towed into service and get it taken care of. Mine was covered under warranty when it happened and didn't cost me anything. It was just a pain.

Ive used a lot of battery tenders, cheap and spendy. They all work the same in my opinion. Save your money and buy a cheap one.

Ctek is $60 works great plus is the OEM manufacturer

 

That is right. A tender was installed into my car by Lamborghini Orlando perfectly. This device is useful from time to time.

Agreed. If you are not going to drive for a few weeks, it is a must esp. in cooler climates. If you garage is cold and its winter, you better be sure to keep the charger on. The OEM trickle charger won't revive a dead battery but it will maintain the charge of a healthy battery. Bottom-line use it often and wisely esp. if the car is being used less than regularly.
