I have been getting an alert regarding low battery level and increased battery discharged for a few weeks now.
In addition, the clock is refusing to stay set after turning off the car.
I thought it was just a bad battery and so replaced the battery last night but to no avail.
So what else could be causing this problem? Alternator? Messed up computer? Or?

Ever since I put the new battery in, I keep getting a window is jammed icon showing.
I do not have an OEM battery.
Last I was at the dealer, the service manager noticed that it was not OEM but he said it was fine.

Update:
I went out to my car to check on it again and everything is working fine and clock is still set.
The window jammed icon appeared but then I rolled down all the windows and back up and it went away.

Experienced the clock not staying set issue prior to my battery dying recently. If your battery is new either it's bad or there is a voltage regulator problem.
