I've subsequently discovered this battery in the Crossfire is just over a year old. It does seem unlikely to be a battery, but I'm sorely tempted to buy a new one. I can always keep the current one as a spare.
I had a early 2000's Dodge Durango that left me stranded, engine would crank over and over, try to almost start, then die. Got towed, guys worked an hour on it.
Then they traded the battery between my van and Durango - the Durango started right up as did the van - swapped batteries back, Durango no start but van still started.
You cannot say, "I had the battery tested", it's just meaningless these days.

You would certainly know about that, first hand.
