The battery is charged via the high voltage system, however it may discharge or reach the end of its lifespan. You might either replace it with an equivalent component or have the system evaluated by an expert. Is it now charging? Is the battery defective? Is there a drainage system? They should res...

Re: Alert indicators when towing
