Increased Battery Discharge 2013 328

v8george · 12-10-2019, 07:49 PM

Got the dreaded discharge error yesterday. Charged the battery overnight, came right back when I started it this morning. I disconnected the cables after I got home tonight and checked the battery. Came back at 12.8 volts, 900 cranking amps on the battery tester. Car starts no problem, everything works. Does this sound like a bad IBS?

Sure does, check your faults

Update: My wife had misplaced her key so she borrowed mine. Later found hers under the seat. That means it was not going to sleep. I charged the battery last night for a bit, started it today with no error message.
