Contrary to popular believe the battery light on the dash does not indicate the health of your battery. It actually indicates if your charger is working correctly.

Check the health and state of your battery, electrolyte levels, battery connection posts. Then check your mains lead connection is good and there is a good solid connection between the frame of your car to the negative terminal post.

yeh no battary light comes on but i might have thought it does show if the batt is bugged. But will check what above said too.

On the vt i had i remember the batt was stuffed but yeh it didnt show like said. went and got it tested an put a new one in an all was good again so i might go get that check as they said last time that it can be 50/50 which they said is worth replacing.
