TPMS light flashes then solid - Dealer suggests new car battery

No, my windows are not tinted.... but, isnt the concern over tinting because of tint adding aluminum?? If so, perhaps my sound deadening material may be doing the same effect. From the trunk, hatch, under seats, to door panels all have it installed. Its Dynamat eXtreme made of Butyl rubber with an aluminum backing. FWIW it cuts the road noise, increases stereo efficiency, and is worth the pain of installed just for the improved quality/comfort of ride.

Since topping off my battery 2 nights ago I have not seen the TPMS light come on. My bat gauge has also stayed at or above 14v. I am also only cautiously using my car stereo as not to put excessive drain on the battery.

I'm gonna give it more time until I am 100% convinced I need a new car battery, but for now I'm about 60% convinced.

Has anyone actually changed their car battery yet in their 370z? These cars being still so new, I imagine not too many.
