battery

Got a VN Wagon & I've had my battery run flat 3 times in the past 2 weeks, whilst working outside. Running a 1000W Kenwood monoblock powering a 1200W Kenwood amp. The sad thing is after the first time it went flat (I got about 5 hours playing time first time before it went flat) then the two...

Okay - went to my car on Saturday morning, it was dead flat, i.e. doors wouldn't unlock with remote, battery measured about 5V. The car had been driven on Thursday about 30k trip no issues. Well I figured it must just be a faulty battery since the car is at that age so i went to the neighbours...

Hey all. I am replacing the battery in the VX today. Is it a simple case of pull it out put the new one in and the reset the head unit? Does any other electrical systems on these cars need to be reset or reconfigured after battery replacement? Cheers, Scott

Hi guys, yesterday I picked up my 95 Vs, after a bit of driving I noticed it didn't start up as easy as when I test drove it, today I've had the car idle rough then stall both when ive been stationary and when I've been moving. I was assuming it may be a issue with the fuel pump but the car...

Hey guys, been a while haha. I've got a problem with my vp, basically the alternator stopped charging the other night just before I got home. I tested it over the weekend and the battery was ok (12.3v), And the alternator was charging too (14.something v). Then I started it up today, when I...

Hi I know this probably sounds stupid, but the battery has gone flat in my remote, which causes the alarm to turn on because it isn't being disarmed properly etc. I have had Falcons and Magnas in the past and it's just been a case of buying a battery for a few dollars at Big W, opening the...

I've had my 1996 VS Acclaim for a year now and nothing seemed wrong with it until about two months ago when it wouldn't start for me at a shopping centre. It worked fine for a few weeks until it suddenly stopped dead at random places. It continued for a week to stop and start until I took it to...

Hey guys, I've looked through the ffs search, and not much relating to VS's have come up so I thought I would ask here to see what people knew. Sorry if it seems like a stupid question. I plan on moving (and replacing to something bigger and better) my battery to my boot, as I am doing a...

hey all my '93 executive VP keeps turning on the battery warning light and the battery went flat leaving me in the kfc carpark. The car has a reasonably new battery so i thought the alternator was on its way out so i got myself a replacement one which was in much better condition but somehow...

Hello, I have some issues with the electrics in my '94 Calais. At what seems like random times while driving the battery warning light will come on, closely followed by the ABS warning light. If it happens when the headlights are on then they will go brighter, and once when the wipers were...
