BigFrenlyGiant Neutral Newbie April 12, 2010 Share April 12, 2010 @Dibma Thanks for the input.. will take note of that. and yes battery from factory alway worries me since you cant predict when its goin to die on me... usually the tell-tale-sign is a longer cranking when start engine. Which im experiencing now after 2 months. My last Mits Airtrek had same problems. So i will have it change before my long trip again. cheers ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miles 4th Gear April 12, 2010 Share April 12, 2010 Ask Vantage to check the alternator.... if it's charging your battery at all. Usually larger cars like mondeo or s-max has higher capacity alternators and battery. it should last at least 18 months. nonetheless, its always a good practice to ask SA to check battery everytime you go for servicing.

Eyke Supercharged April 12, 2010 Share April 12, 2010 My ride is under utilise (just clock 17k) as I am out of the country most of the time and the wife do not (dare) to drive it yet. the above could be the reason why ur battery died young. failure to keep it charged up.

Dibma Clutched April 13, 2010 Share April 13, 2010 the above could be the reason why ur battery died young. failure to keep it charged up. Agreed. Due to my work schedule I normally replace the battery somewhere between the 15th - 18th month. Previous experience have taught me so. But then again this kind of occurence is so unpredictable.
