New battery
Posted: Tue Apr 16, 2019 12:03 am
My Morris tends to get 'hand me down' batteries from our other vehicles. Not ideal but as the Morris is less demanding on power it works except that my last hand me down had discharged to the point where once connected to a charger the alarm chirped! A well flat and exhausted battery.
Ordered a new 45 amp hour jobbie and in the meantime I disconnected the alarm and connected my Aldi charger and after a couple of days appeared to recover!
Today I cranked it over on the starter for what seemed an age with battery volts not dropping below 10.6v, fantastic, a steady cranking speed with no slowing up!
Certainly capable of giving some more service, in the middle of this, you guessed it - my new one turned up!
