Battery info with AlfaOBD

[ImaginThat]

My battery occasionally has started to refuse the lowering of the air suspension from the key fob and gives a message in the evic of low battery start engine to lower. The only other issue was a single event of the aux switches for heated seats and suspension would not respond or lightup and the the transfer case switch was not lit for 2 wheel drive. A restart brought them back but I am not sure if this is a further sign of the battery getting weak.

I remembered seeing battery info in the Alfa log and between the state of charge and residual amp hours it looks like it may be soon time for a battery. The log was taken before starting and push start in acc. This is a 2014 with original battery, sad part is the wifes '14 Charger has similar numbers. So either I throw them on a maintenance charge to desulfate and see if they come back to a higher state of charge or buck up and get a pair of batteries. Pep Boys does have the Champion AGM H7 for 25% off and a $40 rebate which brings the price down to about $120 after tax

I replaced the battery in my '14 with an AGM from Advance Auto last year. I used one of their "25% off-buy online-pickup in store" coupons to get it down to $150. With the temperature differentials we get here in the northeast 4-5 years is about average lifespan for a car/truck battery. You really can't go wrong switching to an AGM.
