Chris1276 Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 Battery icon pops up on my evic. When i went to message in evic it says "battery saving mode" What does it mean. Does it associate with my battery being dead last month? Is it an indication of weak battery! I called dealership about it and they schedule me for next two weeks! I just wanna know if forum member gave experience like this also! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Journeyman425 Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 Hmmm...Learn something new every day: STAR Case Chrysler Group LLC Version 1 Case Number: S1108000147 Release Date: 09/17/2011 Symptom/Vehicle Issue: Battery Saver Message Appears In The Evic Discussion: Battery saver message is being displayed in the EVIC of the cluster. Repair: Vehicles with EVIC warning display can display a battery saver message. The sensor on the battery reports battery (voltage, temperature, state of charge and amp-hours in/out etc.) to the CBC (Body Controller) on the LIN bus. The CBC sends a message to the cluster to indicate ‘battery saver active’ it indicates that the battery has lost >5 AH during an ignition cycle and may cause other component operation issues reducing component performance, blower speed, radio volume, window operation ect…as battery charge declines.

Chris1276 Posted May 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 Thanks for sharing.. Im just confuse about it. Since i have schedule to dealership next next week should i ask them to replace with the new battery? Will it resolve the issue. I have dead battery issue twice on my 20 months of owning my journey. Several occasion my remote start wont work but when i use the manual push button, it works! My audio is compleate dead now( radio, usb music and even navigation) i dont know if its associated with my battery saving mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigtsr Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 Be pro-active and print Journeyman245s post out and bring the hardcopy to your dealer when you go for service. There are a lot great people in service but unfortunately there are many who need a push in the right direction.

travis9935 Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 Lol I broke me battery sensor off when I changed to my Optima battery back in December! It did the same as yours, but went away, they wanted $100 for it! I asked what it did and if it was important, nobody knew! No problems without it! eminrzayev@gmail.com 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wpginterceptor Posted March 12, 2017 Report Share Posted March 12, 2017 ALTERNATOR! car will go into BATTERY SAVE MODE, where even the radio wont work as its trying to save power! Eventually car will die as it takes power to keep it running.. get the alt changed right away! I did mine in about 30 mins, some good youtube vids on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
