Hey guys,
While I was driving from south side sunnybank hills to banyo I noticed my battery light turned on. Driving back home after work car was spluttering about and literally 1km away my car radio started turning on and off.
I managed to get home and pulled the battery out which is 560cca and only 5 months old. The indicator said to rechargeable battery. Put it on the charger and found my multimeter so tested it while on charge and it read 11.9-12.1v.
It is a century 58mf but it said it never needs refilling. I left it on charge overnight and the charger said it was full but the indicator still read to recharge. Tested it while on chargr and it was reading 13.9-14v.
Anyway go to put it in the car this morning and drive to work and battery light comes on again. She was idling really high aswel around 1500.
Car is my daily driver so I don't mind charging it everyday until I can afford to get an alternator if possible but would this likely be the scenario?
Cheers
