Back in December, the battery in the '13 Edge crapped out on me and was replaced under warranty at Auto Zone. This morning, I go to leave for work and get the dreaded clicking sound when your battery is dead. I jump it and things start just fine. I drive an hour to work without any issues and get a message on the MFT screen when I arrive saying to shut off ignition or start vehicle. I tried starting it and the battery had just enough juice to start, but went back to the clicking when I tried again.
So, I'm wondering if it's just bad luck with a battery or if I have another issue that's the root cause. I drove it yesterday to the store and back without any issue or signs pointing to a potential problem. I'm going to AZ near work at lunch to have everything tested, but don't always trust them since one told me the battery in my old Frontier was fine (about 6 months old) even after I would lose all power (go completely dark...no lights, no PS, etc) while I was actually driving, then decide to come back on after sitting for about 15 minutes. Went to another AZ and they said battery was bad, replaced it, and didn't have an issue for over 2 years.
