Hi all,
Looks like my battery is on the way out. The C-Tek charger is now showing red (error) when I plug in via the cigarette lighter or direct to the battery and won't go above level 5 on the charger before reverting to the above.
I've tried both the AGM and recondition modes which used to work fine so can only assume its slowly dying. The car starts but sounds slower cranking and the alternator is only 2.5 years old and the gauge shows 14v when running so I doubt the charging itself is an issue.
do people agree its likely on its last legs and any recommendations for best replacement and source (will also do a search on here). Last Bosch battery was 12-05-2010 according to the service history.
cheers,
Giles.
