I have had a battery symbol displaying a half full battery in the info center three times recently. Wondering this is an excessive battery drain software issue? Dealer service advisor didn't know what symbol meant and I can't find anything in User Manual. Any ideas?

"excessive battery drain software issue?"
Anyone has a good link to read about it. I went for vacation for 5 days, when back I got "Battery high rate discharge".
I want to understand before send a car to dealer. I don't any BS from them on this issue, I replaced battery 3 months ago. Driving about 25-30 miles a day.

The only advise I have is that if there is anything aftermarket connected in your car, or even present in your vehicle, take it out before going to the dealer. In the past, they blamed my GPS, my radar detector, not driving enough etc. I would just say that I drive over 30 miles a day. They will ask you if you connect anything to the power jacks, just say no. In my experience, they often try and find an easy way out with the battery issues.
