Default Stop/ start and Transmission

The transmission on my 2015 Trailhawk shuddered when I stopped at lights in late November,it felt like 2 gears at once. Then it took off normally although the shift pattern changed. I then drove to the Sunshine Coast with no problems, except that the warning came up that stop/start was not working, it had not worked since the last tranny recall,I didn't worry about it. I took the car to the Maroochydore dealer who reset the transmission without any improvement. Took it to local dealer today and apparently the cause of all the problems is that the battery is on the way out, even though it starts first kick and ran a portable fridge to and from Cairns. Of course they had none in stock, maybe next week when the roads are open. Sorry for the long discourse, but I have never heard of a battery causing these problems.
