The scenario:
I have an annoying little problem with the 'Fender, is as much as the charging warning light will illuminate, sometimes brightly, sometimes very dimly, most of the time not at all...
I have noticed that most of the time, the screen wipers are verrrrryyyy ssssllllloooowwww and the headlights seem even dimmer than usual.
I get a reading across the battery terminals of around +/- 13.8V when I have checked for a charge, however the battery has died the past few days so probably needs replacing (I have nit replaced it in 4 years, so could be quite old)
I don't run winches / tons of additional lights (at the moment), so do you go for the biggest battery you can fit into the hole, or stick with standard?
Clearly there is a charging fault, but tracking it down is a right pain - interestingly, the retro-fitted voltage dial (gen LR) throws its indicator needle right over to the right...
Any clues chaps?
