    My car doesn’t have a tracker, and isn’t dealer financed. I believe that some issues people have with parasitic drain or battery issues must be caused by trackers or other accessories, but I already ruled those causes out before diagnosing the battery issue. It was one of the first things I had to check.

    12v just died in mine also. 14 months old and about 8000 miles. 5 days ago it was on a 200 mile road trip with no recharge. Plugged in overnight 2 days ago and was driven the following day about 25 miles. Today with a remaining charge of 45% died while trying to start.
