"Failure Indicator" when attempting start up...

I tried to start the RuF on sunday after a little over two weeks of sitting. Got the dash lights and the fuel pump clicking and no start. Then the "Failure Indicator" came on the screen followed by the engine picture. I hooked up my battery tender/charger and raised the lift back up. Left it until now hoping the battery would recharge but no dice, same thing happened. Could I be one more of the recent battery victims or could this be worse?
With the weather so nice here in MF, I would like to enjoy the damn thing a little longer until reality hits and we actually get some snow.

kd126500 is infamous around these parts
Just had the same light

I just went through the same thing Saturday after returning from a 2 week trip. I had the same engine light and it appeared that the battery was fine.

After not being able to find the source, I ended up jumping the battery off my other car to rule out the battery. It started right up and I haven't had an issue since.

I have a trickle battery charger and it takes several days to charge it back up to 80%... its a 850mA charger so its not much.
