    Tell them to do a load test on the battery .if dealer won’t run the test then take it to batteries plus they will do it .have them print you out the results . Take that back to the dealer to prove the battery is bad .

    They did do a load test, but they are bound by the warranty. While they know the battery is bad and I know the battery is bad, they need the machine to say its bad and provide a test code. Pretty much all dealers are like that. The battery is so boarder line on the tester that being below zero outside just kills it overnight.
