Hi,
Problem:
I'm getting the "Low Battery Pleas start engine" warning. I'm getting it within seconds of just opening a door.
It started while I was vacuuming out the car and had all 4 doors open for an hour or so. No lights were on, so I thought that was weird.
What I have tried / done:
- I charged my Battery using a trickle charger to 97%
- I have been driving around in the car (with a remote starter just in case)
- I have tested my Battery with a multi-meter
- Checked all connections - solid as a rock
- Checked for corrosion - Looks factory fresh.
Results:
----Resting Battery = 12.57v (after 30 minutes of sitting around)
----Running Car Battery = 14.27v
Alternator seems OK or within spec.
Question:
Could my battery actually be going bad? Its fairly new. Maybe 10k on it.
Of course I'm getting ready to go on a trip towing my trailer in a few days....isn't this how these gremlins start?
