Here's an update: On Monday I put a 3 hour charge at 10A into the batt and starting was 12.1-finished at 12.7. Next morning it tested 12.7 still-all temps mid 40F. Drove 1/2 hour put away. Retested today at same temps and got 12.3--bummer. Then drove short while.
I have NOT gotten the battery dash icon on startup however at any time.
So I'm testing everyday and watching. Honestly, I can't figure how to do the drain testing as the damn car is so complex. The alternator is in a hellish place so I can't take it out or test for bad diode as source of drain. And I do not have any code-scanning tools for it and if I did, I doubt I can figure 'em out. This is not my forte.
