[quote=Anonymous]I have a Range Rover Sport HSE. Yesterday, I drove 15 minutes to the store, it was parked for half an hour while I shopped, and then displayed a low battery message when I started it. I drove 5 minutes to another store, parked for 10 minutes and the message displayed again when restarted. I then drove home. I’ve tried yesterday and today to get the warning message to replicate by starting the car (letting it sit for a couple hours, then overnight, and again hours later today and starting it up) and it hasn’t displayed again. I’m a little nervous to drive it and see if the warning comes up again as I don’t want to get stuck with a dead battery somewhere.

The battery is 4 years old and I’ve driven apx 4,000 miles on it.  I just had a tune-up at the dealership two weeks ago and presume testing the battery was something they’d include in the work up ... At any rate, I’m wondering do I A) just get a new battery, B) bring it in to be tested, C) sort out if something else is at play — apparently RRs have an auxiliary battery which I’m certain has not been replaced in the 5 years I’ve had the car. The car has a new alternator placed 5 years ago so I feel confident it’s not that). Clearly I don’t know much about cars so any tips are appreciated. [/quote]
