Actually i could see the battery being dead. It looked like an oem Toyota battery. I may call the old car salesman and aee if it has been purchased from them before since it has 3 owners in the same town before me. I haven't had any dash lights, nor have I really monitored battery voltage, but I did notice yesterday definitely after wondering if it used HV battery to power the car when the engine is off and it seemed like it. Went to pick up friends at the airport and with no climate control on, parking lights on only, and listening to my phone on about 15 it went from 60% to 20% HV battery in right at 20 minutes and had to kick the motor on for a little bit to charge before my friends finally got off and got their bags to my car. Looking like $150 for an optima yellow top.
