Hi all.
My battery seems to have terrible life. If I open the car to hoover it out, it’s generally low by the time I try and start it. Alternator charging fine.
if I replace the battery, does it need anything resetting at the dealer? I’ve had the battery disconnected quite a few times and never had a problem. Just followed the “keep keys away from the car for >2 minutes” thing. I’ve seen loads of threads about a dealership reset if you disconnect the battery yet I’ve never had an issue with a disconnected battery. I am upgrading to a 900A 100Ah battery as the one I have fitted is an 800A 90Ah and no idea how old it is. First charge date is worn off. Apologies if there are any threads on here for this. Couldn’t find one. I’m getting older, it’s getting colder and I want to use the preheater this winter
hope you are all keeping safe,
thanks in advance.
