Cheapest I could find was around $160. That's just criminal to charge that much for a small battery.
I picked it up off Amazon because I had gift cards.

Yes, I just had this happen to me and it's the 12V battery. Somewhat easy to change on your own. You can test the charge using the tutorial that was posted by /u/youmustlikeit. If you're doing it yourself, get the Optima battery. It's better both in quality and in price than the OEM.
Test your 12v battery, it runs everything but the traction system (power to move the car) and the OEM batteries are notoriously sucky.
