davidjohnlavell Posted December 29, 2014 Author Share Posted December 29, 2014 The battery just died the light come on so I shot home when I turned off and tried to restart the battery was flat so fitted and battery first then tested the altanotor charging at 10v so fitted a new one then charging at 14v but sounds like it's the battery as it's not a silver one that I put on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidjohnlavell Posted December 29, 2014 Author Share Posted December 29, 2014 Am going to change the battery to a silver one from Halfords think that will sort it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Why the 'buying from Halfords' thing? There are online places who are cheaper for good batteries (I'm betting that you'll find Bosch/Varta one that are cheaper than Halfords, if you look around). The only thing that I can think of is that Halfords recommended the wrong battery to you, and are prepared to do the decent thing (which is give you your legal rights, except not insist that you go through the courts to get them) and refund you the price of the battery that you've already purchased against your 'correct' battery. Remember, if they recommend the battery for the application and there is a problem because it is a wrong recommendation, it is their problem, where if you choose the battery with no input from them and you choose the wrong one, it is your problem. So always get them to recommend or at least say that the one that you have chosen is appropriate for the application. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
