| Any ideas on these symptoms regarding "low power mode&q |
|
When starting, battery voltage is at 11.5 volts then drops to 11.
Once driving, voltage slowly creeps up and as soon as it hits 13v, stereo goes in to low power mode for about 5 minutes. Battery drops down to 11.5 when left for a short period, even after a long journey.
Dealer has replaced battery and says alternator is OK (I am not so sure), voltage and charge are not the same thing and I am guessing that the regulator in the alternator is causing the battery to not fully charge.
Independant guy shecked the battery and it gave a strange result saying battery was good but needed recharge even though voltage was 12.5.
Screen is often very dim in the morning.
