Expecting too much from a stock AGM w/80k miles on it?

I can top that. My battery did after 3.5 to 4 hours of listening, last week.

Yes! A new, fully charged 94RAGM battery, has a reserve capacity of 140 minutes with a 25 amp load.

Yes especially if it's the original in your 2022. I used to need to replace batteries every 3-4 years when I lived in central Florida.

In NH, this has become an issue at drive-in movies. Yes, we still have a few up here. You can't have ANY lights on, so you have to figure out how to override your car's parking lights, which stay on in newer vehicles, when the motor is on. You also cannot idle your vehicle for more than 5 minutes within any 60 minute interval, if the outside temperature is above 32 degrees.
