The back hatch and a couple of doors on the H2 were left open today for about 4 hours while I installed a JAT third row bench, went to Shucks for parts and ate dinner. When I went to go start the car, it was completely dead! It started right up after I jumped it but it went immediately into "Reduced Engine Power" mode, despite the fact that it hadn't been driven for 48 hours. I shut off the enging and started it again and it went to normal mode. Now the check engine light is on. What's going on? is it normal for the battery to die so soon on these H2's? I've had it less than a month. BTW, the doors were opened and shut constantly by my kids going in and out, testing the new third row seat. By this I can assume that the interior lights were on for extended lengths of time.
