Battery Saving Mode and Battery Light On
Got a message stating the battery saving mode is now on (and won't go away).
Also, the battery sign stays on too.
My wife says she saw smoke coming from the car. I started it today and let it run for awhile and seen nothing or smelt anything.
After reading through somethings, people are saying it could possibly be the alternator which I hope not! Theres no recall on it…YET.
Anyone have any idea of what this might be?

Why have you not had someone check it out yet? You're going to get stranded, possibly somewhere you would not like to be stranded.

This is all over the internet and there is a investigation started by the NHSTA, and is on file. Chrysler and the Dealerships still do not want to acknowledge the issue.
Here is a quick blurb on it.
DETROIT (AP) — The U.S. government's road safety agency is investigating complaints about engine stalling and alternator failures in Dodge Charger sedans.
The probe covers about 123,000 Chargers from the 2011 and 2012 model years.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says it has 14 complaints of alternator failure and stalling. All the cases happened while the cars were going 40 or more miles per hour.
In one case a car stopped in traffic with smoke coming from the alternator, which generates electricity to recharge the battery and run other devices. No injuries have been reported to the agency.
Chrysler says it's cooperating in the probe. Investigations can lead to recalls but there haven't been any so far.
Investigation #PE14022, 2013's are popping up with the issue, mine is one of them. Mine is intermittent and even though my battery has gone bad and I have codes showing issues my dealer prefers to tell me my radar detector is causing the issue.
