I went on a longer run (45 miles) and the spoiler stopped popping up for the next 4 starts. It then started popping up again but after another longer run (20 miles) it's behaving again. I'll keep monitoring and report back when I have more info.
If I have any doubts about a battery I get another one, I have found this cheaper and saves a lot of agro when the battery finally dies in the middle of the night in the middle of nowhere. That happened the once when I had my first car and I swore it would never happen again. It did but that is another story.
