Hi, my Stinger was manufactured early 2018. It is a GT model. The problem is the battery drain while driving even i use no electronic gadgets, no heated seats or etc. No drain in the parking for the night. The dealer change the battery but the problem still remain. He said the alternator is ok. I feel that something drain the battery much more than the alternator can recharge it. For the moment i have no choice to recharge the battery at home every week. Anyone experienced this problem ? Thanks for all inputs.

If you have not installed anything aftermarket, it's clearly a factor defect. Let the dealer take care of it, you shouldn't need to be charging your car every night. It's Kia's problem to fix.
If the battery is draining, then that means that the alternator is not charging. Culprit is either the alternator or the wiring that goes from the alternator to the battery, it may be loose somewhere and therefore the battery is not receiving the charge.
Definitely should be covered by the warranty and dealer, especially since your don't have any aftermarket devices hooked up.

Looks like it's back to the dealer for you. Charging the battery once a week is unacceptable. Beside your battery is now toast. After a battery has been depleted below fifty percent theres no getting it back. Toss it or you're in for a headache as long as you have it.
