do i need a bigger battery

[big_gordy]

got a new battery a 75 i think they said but looks a bit small to me for a V6 and then i saw the 2 arrows flashing! is this because it IS the wrong 1?

did they go out after you gave the engine a wee rev?

Does the battery warning light failure affect the digi dash as well??

I thought it was only the standard dials, where if the bulb fails the alternator won't charge until the engine is revved past 3k.

Thinking as I type, if the digi dash battery warning does fail then it should have the same effect, but Gordy says the two arrows flashed. Isn't that the digi dash battery warning bulb?

the two lights are the same as your ignition light on any car, and if you have just started it you may have to give it a wee rev to get the alternator actually sending a charge and get the light out

just went and had a look and its saying...so a 75 Ah one should do

V6 Standard Battery 66Ah rated

if the lights are on it means your not getting a charge...altanator gone, get a metre and see what the voltage is on the battery
