Both times I had it tested & the battery showed as being bad & it was replaced.
By the 2016 model I have, they had apparently fixed it so the battery fails in the normal manner: wake up one morning and it's lost its will to live, just barely turning over and saying, "I'm done for, save yourself!"
Mind you, it doesn't last any longer than before...first one lasted just under two years, second just over three. As I recall, there was also a recall for the battery sensor, which may be what causes the stone-dead symptoms you describe.
