Shouldn’t matter which post. Do you still have the original battery? if so, it’s due to be replaced.

Sounds like whatever you're connecting to the OBC isn't closing the session correctly and is leaving modules in a "battery drain" state.

CHARGE THE BATTERY! Yes, in capital letters. New batteries are virtually never fully charged on installation and yours has probably never reached full charged. Your car has been trying to tell you that it is starved for voltage! Please consider mounting and using a good battery maintainer nota battery “charger”.

Just went through this while tuning my DSP. Battery was fully charged and still got the message. Did the disconnect too.

@santacruz11 Charging won't do it - you need to reset the BMS using a bi-directional OBD2 scanner like

.

I have this issue every year when I get the smog inspection. Did not disconnect the negative terminal in time this year and the battery went completely dead. Had the car jumped, drove it and put it on a battery tender and it still discharged after that. After disconnecting the battery for a short time is was fine.
