It seems that the battery in my car will not hold a charge. I had issues last week on Friday with a couple of "alerts" (power train malfunction, then "no hill start assist", followed by "traction control off"). The dealer had it Monday and didn't find anything, even the codes were gone.

BUT, the battery was not fully charged even though I had put 300 miles on the car and did about 75 of them on Saturday. So no reason for the battery to not be fully charged.

Today I had a bunch of weird electrical things happening. It keeps resetting my dash and doesn't keep the memory of my personal setting, the back up camera didn't come on and then the screen went black for a bit. Stopped by O'Reilly and asked them to test the battery and it shows as "good" but not fully charged again; this is after driving it 50 miles just yesterday. The alternator test checked out as good so apparently Ford has put a bad battery in the S650 since I see many others complaining about the same issue and the battery not holding a charge.

I'm going to put it on the charger tonight and talk with my sales guy about getting a new battery put in the car.
