Yep, that very well may be next up.

I noticed the slow crank starting a while back. I checked the battery in Jan and the voltage was a bit low. I've been charging it every now and then but figured it was time to change it out. The new one in, now it starts like it used to —> push button = vroom!

The battery was from 2015. I was hoping to get a bit more than 4 years life out of it. It was the standard BMW H6 640/80AH which isn't that big a battery and in the heat here batteries don't last as long in general. 4-6 years is typical from what I understand.

And yes Carly did right to grandfather in the legacy purchasers.
