Default Engine racing after battery is low

I've had my NAH for 2 months, ran well. Now I've had the same issue pop up twice in two weeks. In each case I was stuck in traffic for a 10-15 min period and my battery was run down to the low end of the range. Then the ICE kicks in and the engine is a bit louder - still normal, I understand its charging the battery. What was not normal was that the engine was racing for periods of 10 seconds, for 3-4 intervals. Then the ICE would generally run rough until the car was home. Next day and all is back to normal. Anyone else get this?

Dan, I have not experienced what you described. Another recent poster zippyzop, seems to be having the same problem.

Default Re: Engine racing after battery is low

Verrrrrrrrrrrry interesting. This is kind of making sense now. Yesterday my battery was maybe 2/3 and the racing occurred. Today the battery was full and no racing. Also, when I turned off AC and Radio the racing usually stopped. See my other post for further details.
