Arogab Turbocharged November 12, 2021 Share November 12, 2021 Step 1 : Get someone near you and try to connect battery to start again (I always have a pair of cable in the boot for this purpose, regardless if I use it or someone need it) Step 2 : If cannot, probably starter liao. Then you call tow truck😂 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your engine was running idel when taking this reading ? 13.7V is when headlights are on. I notice that on my car too. My charger has a voltage indicator too. During daytime the voltage is around 12.7V. When charging it is around 14.4V . When deceleration the voltage will jump to above 14V as well. At first I didnt know the alternator can do this. Then I saw it on my charger. But my car isnt mild hybrid or hybrid. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

After 4 days of wasted coe ...13.7 not bad liao 😅 12.2 without crank you are measuring the alternator charging voltage. all it says is alternator is working. need to do battery load test or analyzer to check status of the battery. 12.2V seems ok after 4 days.

Someone here ever did that and posted for help . 🤣 actually this is a common mistake. not left in D , but in 'R' . the level never engage fully into 'P' mode its at the "P' position but the mechanism is in 'R" the symptom is totally no respond when u crank, but there is light on the dashboard ( or there is power ) 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mkl22 Twincharged November 12, 2021 Share November 12, 2021 My take is, test the battery with a hand held tester every 3-4mths when the battery is more than 1year old. A 3min job. Change it when the reading is low. Don’t have to worry about carrying jumper cables, jump pack which can die on you when you need it the most, rely on AAS or other services where you need to wait and then pay sometimes exorbitant charges.
