I am tempted to try what Filliam has suggested, before I replace the battery. I was curious, so I Googled and found this: https://www.wildetoyota.com/how-to-jump-...pstarting/ ... which says to let it run for 8 hours (!!!) in Ready mode after jumpstarting ... I suppose I can do that, I have nothing to lose ... could just leave the car running overnight or something.

Wilde Toyota does mention that their procedure is intended to take into account Milwaukee Winter temperatures. Has it been snowing recently in NO?
No, but the heat/humidity down here wreaks havoc on batteries of all kinds -- I've never seen so many corroded AA and AAA batteries in my life, since being here. You can't leave batteries in remote controls, etc., without discovering that they've eventually corroded and leaked. Maybe it's been less of an issue here lately, because like many other parts of the country, it's been unseasonably cold.

And the $218 from AAA, that includes the battery...? That would be quite a deal!
