Hi folks

I popped into halfords for a battery check as my auto stop start has stopped working and resetting it doesn't make any difference,they said my battery passed the test but they advised that I replace it as they say while it is charging it is it not holding a charge very well,does the result in the picture attached show a knackered battery please..

 

Thanks

    Your voltage is very low (should be 13.2 to 13.6V), but your battery is fine and healthy.

    Put it back on the car and give it a full 24 hour charge with a smart charger.

    I didn't know that 2003 Focus have Stop/Start or is your member profile wrong ??
