- VE SS
My VE SS manual is just 6 months old. 8000 ks on the clock. Found the battery flat this morning. Flat enough so it would not start but still enough to run electronics and the auto highlights etc.
Have trickled charged today and will see how it goes for the rest of week. (had to disconnect battery as the charger (4 amp unit) was tripping out trying to charge from terminals in engine bay. Had to disconnect battery and charge it by itself.!!!).
Over recent days it was turning over slower but everything else ok.
Checked charge and battery volts after days worth of trickle charge via Eng Mode :
Engine off...Volts = 12.3 Charge 2.3%...
Engine on...volts 14.7 Charge 2.3....volts seem a bit high.
I see in a few threads that others have had battery problems early in life of a VE so interested to know what people are finding. Don't think I like those auto headlights and the idea of a battery 3 meters from the starter motor.
