2013 PiP hard to start

I've got this 2013 PiP a month ago. Recently I found sometimes it's hard to start.

This happens usually in early morning for the first time start in a day. Press down brake peddle and push Start button, nothing happens, main screen on just like double press Start button but no "Ready" light.

I have to try and try several times before the "Ready" sign is on and able to drive the vehicle. It never happened if I shut the car off for a short period of time and turn it on again, it happens 90% on the first start in early morning.

Any comment ? thanks for any input.

 

Can't agree more, this is my first guess. Just then I went to check the 12V battery, after parked for 3 hrs, there is 10.15V left. I guess it's too low.

 

So, thanks Pluggo and Raytheeagle, I've replaced the ruined 12V battery with a brand new ACDelco AGM battery from Amazon, cost $167.

It feels very "strong" start now. But what exceed my expectation is, before the 12V battery was replaced, a full charge will show that EV range is 10.2 miles, now after a brand new 12V battery sitting in place, a full charged traction battery will give me a EV range of 12.6 miles. I guess that is because it doesn't have to chip energy trying to charge accessory battery anymore.

Great! Love PiP!
