Battery died at store I turned car off , left lights on and door open. Recharged with a portable charger. When I started car upon charging rpms at 3000. Only had to drive mile home at redlight got really high again & when shifting down to turn. Temp outside is 45 if that matters. Car had not been driven for 30 hours.
