Hey
I just help my friend to jump start his car but , I don’t know what happened to my car(vf commodore ute 2016) , it just stopped after few minutes after putting jump leads
Now my car battery is low and if i start my car with jump start, it show sign of battery saving mode , and charging system issues.
If anyone knows how fix please
I think we probably attached wrong terminal in hurry while jump starting

Yes mine car was running
I left it running for 5-10 min and it suddenly turned off
Afterthat I just tired to restart but the battery went flat

I’m tipping you have fried your alternator.
The easy way to check the charge rate,
Use a digital multimeter,
It should sit at approx 14.3 > 14.6,
Any other than that, it’s a paperweight,
If you can spin a spanner, and have the right tools, you could repair/recondition it,
As I have repaired my VY, VZ & VE alternators,

Is it any chance of fusible link?
If alternator working fine, i need to check my alternator yet
Thanks

Is u have any idea
Where is this fusible link located in holden commodore ute 2017
Check on the positive battery terminal, fusible links are attached, behind the passenger seat.
If you get it started, check the battery voltage on the DIC.
