Rick,

Many of us Indyram owners have experienced the exact same thing, dating
anywhere from 1 year old to 5 years old. Mine was replaced at the dealer
under warranty after about 1.5 years. A dead cell is what everyone has been
told. Do yourself a favor and replace it with a good aftermarket brand
battery, unless they will give you a new Mopar one without the prorated
price tag.
