Thanks for the suggestions, guys!

I tested the battery and it's still good. Recharged it using an external charger solved this issue. From my research an AGM can last up to 8 years if you take care of it.

I think because I drive short distances and not over 2k rpm often. In addition, I live in a cold place so it didn't help. To keep the battery fresh, I'll have to recharge it once every few weeks.


So the issue I encounter was a message of "increased discharge battery" appeared after I shutdown the car. I thought the battery couldn't hold charge anymore; therefore, either the alternator or the battery was bad. I tested the alternator and battery, and it was all good! Anyways, I just wanted to point it out in case someone runs into the same issue would help them out. Always test it first and confirm that's the issue.
