Seems like it. I checked it with a volt ohm meter and it was at 11.2v. I jump started it from my wife's 9-5 -- which was fine, except I lost time of day on my display. Then I read here that I shouldn't have jump started it. So it seems people here recommend that I have Roadside Assistance tow it to the nearest dealer (who I don't like and never go to) and have them replace the battery, which should still be under warranty (I took possession of the car in Vienna, Austria in May 2006). But some people say they pro-rate what they cover on batteries -- true?
I don't want to replace the battery myself, since that would probably void my car warranty.
So under no circumstances should I jump it again? If the meter reads 11 or so volts, would it be safe to jump start it? That way I could take straight over to my regular dealer, who I really like and trust.
