Lots of questions:
2022 (bought in July 21), 31k miles, 4.5 yrs
1. So I decided to use the auto-stop again (had it jammed locked) function and it almost never work. Checked the battery with a device and it showed quality=0, charged 79% (after 20 mile trip), crank test=normal. The car has no problem starting or any symptoms. Is my battery going out? Also, Google said it might going in protected mode (what is it) Is our battery flat plate or spiral wound AGM?
2. I thought AGM should last much longer than typical flooded. My Prius AGM (Bosch) lasted like 8 yrs.
3. How long does basic warranty cover the battery? I’d rather buy my own without the hassle of bringing it the dealer, but just curious. Most other cars warranty is only 3 yrs and usually the battery lasts longer.
