Some INFINITI QX50 owners report experiencing battery draining and stalling issues even after having their batteries charged by the dealer. These problems may stem from an unresolved parasitic battery draw, which necessitates a thorough test to identify any underlying causes. Additionally, owners should check if seat warmers or coolers are inadvertently left on, as this can exacerbate battery drain. A failing 12-volt battery can also lead to slow cranking or failure to start the engine, highlighting the importance of battery health. Furthermore, malfunctioning systems like Lojack or Onstar may contribute to continuous battery drain. While jump-starting or trickle charging a severely drained battery might provide a temporary fix, repeated deep discharges can cause permanent damage. Simply replacing the battery without addressing potential parasitic draws may lead to premature draining of the new battery. Signs of a failing battery, such as a clicking noise when attempting to start the vehicle, should not be overlooked. To effectively resolve these issues, it is essential for owners to diagnose the root causes through appropriate testing and checks.
