Dead battery: charger, spare and ignition checks
Quick answer
In the documented Demo, use a Battery Charger on the vehicle battery or fit a charged replacement. Running the engine does not recharge it.

Earlier public Demo; follow the interaction labels in your installed build.
Recover the RV
- Read the ignition warning. A missing battery needs installation; a depleted one needs charge or replacement.
- Hold the Battery Charger, aim at the vehicle battery and use the displayed repair action.
- Check the charge reading and retry the ignition.
If you have neither item
Keep the parked RV recognisable, carry food and water, and search nearby roadside buildings for a charger or working vehicle battery. Small handheld batteries serve a different purpose. An Engine Repair Kit does not substitute for a charger.
Preserve the recovery
Switch off unnecessary lights before leaving the vehicle. Battery drain and generator behaviour have changed between builds: the earlier Demo evidence does not establish that a current Early Access generator will charge the ignition battery.
