AGM battery died - SONATA 25 SEL
I was all set for a Costco run—, list checked, ready to roll. But when I reached for my keys and pressed the unlock button, nothing happened. Just silence.
A bead of sweat traced down my temple as the memory surfaced: Hyundai service had warned me about these batteries. They die faster than expected, they said. You need to drive at least half an hour every day to keep them charged.
I had driven it the day before yesterday—almost fifty miles, plenty of time to recharge. But yesterday? Nothing. And today? Still parked. Two days without turning the key, and now I'm standing here, locked out of my own routine, staring at a car that won't wake up.
Costco can wait. Right now, I'm just stuck.
I MISS MY HYBRID TUCSON with battery button. Feels like a bad trade
