TomsFocus Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 Hmm, that's definitely an interesting one... I assume the battery light doesn't come on? It does sound like a battery/charge issue though. As an easy test, I'd try loading it up as much as possible (lights, heated screens, AC for rad fan, blower motor on full etc) and see if the system can cope with it.
