Battery Depletion Message

Yesterday 5 of us piled in the 5-er for a trip to Harpers Ferry... on the way home we stopped for dinner. When we came back out to head home, I had the message attached at the bottom of the screen.

I just figured b/c it was so hot outside that maybe a fan was running and the car shut the fan off so it wouldn't kill the battery. Unfortunately, even after driving the vehicle, shutting off and restarting, and waiting overnight, it still shows the same message.

I tried calling my dealer but I don't think they're service dept it open on Sundays. Now what? The car starts and runs fine, but it's clearly limiting the amount of electrical components that function... which means my HVAC fans only blow on low speed, which is a HUGE problem here in the Virginia heat and humidity.

I do remember This Post from a while back, but that only discusses the problem when the car was sitting for long periods of time. In my case I had just driven for 2+ hrs...

Thoughts?
