    Swapped 12v battery. Still drain error showing.

    Y’all are absolutely invaluable! I really appreciate everyone collectively and individually for your help. The issues have been resolved. Root cause does indeed seem to only be the 12v battery. I thought there might have been an underlying drain on the system which prematurely forced the...

    Members, Appreciate all of your help. Sooooo, the car is still giving me the errors well after the swap. We are quickly approaching the 24 hr mark. Draw is still happening. I've fondled underneath the driver's side seat but haven't ran into any specific module which seems warmer than other...

    Lurker in the forum for years. First time poster. 2015 BEV i3 Got the dreaded increased battery drain error and the gradual wacky errors until she was undriveable. Swapped 12v battery with new oem from Remy (east penn) and she was revived (drives,etc.) but I’m still getting an increased battery...
