Default Possible problem?

I have an 07 C6 A6 with a diablo tuner (93 octane tune with fans programed to come on full a little earlier to keep temps down) straight pipes and a K and N FiPK with approx 4800 miles on the OD. The problem that I just noticed last night is that when in S mode and shifting from 2-3 manually and holding 3rd the battery volts go down and it reads service charging system. Never really manually shift the car much and did not notice this before. When in regular auto shift all is great but just in manual S mode when holding 3rd gear do get the problem. The car does sit alot but i have never had a dead battery before. Should I go back to stock and see if that would fix it and/or take it to the shop. Any comments or questions are appreciated. thanks

Try charging the battery first to see if that works. With increase RPM the charging should not be a factor. At an idle is where you should see it. If that don't work, then go back to stock on the tune. You might be in for a trip to the stealer.

I had the Diablo programmer tune on my old C6 (A6), tested it to the limits! and I do mean from 0-300 KM/H no problems at all from 1st to 6th, but I didn't feel that much of a power from it anyway..
dunno if this could help but try the following:

1. Disconnect they battery for 30 minutes.
2. Like "jmudreamvette" said, go back to your stock tune.
3. Like "jmudreamvette" said, check it with your STEALER!

Your problem is you have a diablo tune on it. Go with hp tuners. Better tune system.
