hi guys
Read on here and another forum that there was a batch of dodgy batteries from the factory.
I’ve been getting battery warning on my dash a few times over the past week or 2.
Today was a good example. I went to fill the car and left the mrs and boy in with the radio running and when I got back I got the warning. Car still started but a bit worrying getting any warning in a car a few months old. The other day I used my tyre compressor to check the tyre pressure on the car through the ciggy lighter and same. Didn’t even use the compressor just the pressure gauge on it.
I would expect the battery to be able to cope with the radio for maybe 5-10 minutes especially these modern batteries design to run stop start. I don’t want to get to my car and it doesn’t start or it stops working while I’m driving in traffic.
For those who’s had this battery issue what were the symptoms? What should I expect when it does fail?
Cheers
Al
