Default Dead Battery, Remap Question

What happens to a remap if your battery dies ? (i.e. lights left on all day) (damn optional automatic lights!)

I've got Revo stage 2 and it drives a bit differently since the jump. It's weird, it still feels "chipped" but not like before. Anyone have any experience with this?

Yes. When your battery gets disconnected (or dies) for 5 min+ the software that "learns" your driving habits is reset. This is probably why you feel like the powerband has changed. The fastest way to get it back is to disconnect the battery for 5 min, resetting the system again. On the first drive, don't baby the car - drive a little more aggressively and you should immediately notice a difference. I had the same experience and was given this advice by the dealer. Worked like a charm for me.

No, because it is the ROM that is rewritten in your ECU.
