Low battery and systems alerts
Went to start our Vette in storage and battery was to low so had to use jumper cables.
installed a new Interstate battery in July and usually run it every two weeks. But been busy with life and haven’t been back to the car in awhile.
2015 Z51 vert.
after kit started and while driving top not secure, theft system and one or two others kept sounding alerts.
So what do I do now?
Thanks,
RWP

The things are basically 'puters on wheels. So, if in doubt, reboot and go from there... but, be sure your battery, despite being relatively new, is fully charged AND holds a full charge over time. I've good reason to suggest this, but won't belabor it here. All the best. 
(p.s. don't forget you'll need to re-index your windows; see the Owners Manual)

The battery is usually the first suspect. Do not think that every new battery is a good one. Several years ago I had a friend riding his Harley and the battery was crapping out. He went into a parts store, bought a new one, installed it and it lasted one day and 150 miles. He took it to the parts store and low and behold, it was crap. They replaced it with a good one.
