Car is 06 evo ix. I purchased a duralast gold 600 cca battery at autozone less than 2 yrs ago. Just last month on different occasions I've had hard start or rough start in the mornings. When it got worse I noticed my voltage gauge a tad bit under 10V and my clock dimmed more than normal, after a slow crank it started fine. The worse was when I started it to park in my driveway to wash it, after 20-30 min I was ready to pull it back in and the volt gauge was under 10V again but this time it wouldn't start only heard the started struggling to turn.

To end the story took the battery to autozone to warranty it but after being recharged it passed their battery test... Any ideas.

I've done parasitic draw test and it shows .50 mili amps. And shows 12.40V on the battery with the car off, and 14V on the car volt gauge with the car idling.

I only have 2 aftermarket gauges, sound system which I unplugged during the parasitic draw test and nothing.

Input is appreciated!

Check the wiring and connection points of all your accessories. Are accessory grounds good? The ignition switch may not apply to your situation but just for safety. https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/ev...ied-fixed.html
