  • Low Battery Warning (NO BATTERY ISSUES?!)

    Hi,

    New to the forum

    I bought a 2009 2.0L petrol Insignia a couple of months back, had been sat for a couple of months so the battery had died and the seller put a new one in. Low battery warning was present when I bought it, mechanic that inspected the car said he thought it’d go away as the alternator topped the battery up.

    2 months on, never have any issues at all related to the battery but whenever I start the car, immediately low battery fault comes up on the screen between the Speedo/revs.

    Anyone any idea how to address this?

    I unplugged the battery overnight and when I reconnected it the error went away for a few hours, but came back.

      Pretty sure it was a new battery but can only take his word unfortunately... Hmmm. When you changed your battery, did the fault disappear immediately? (Maybe a stupid question)

            Looks like it either needs a good charge with battery charger or it's on it's way out and you need a new battery.

              Is it possible it’s the alternator? I could pick up a new battery for £50 with eurocarparts constant sales discounts

                I'd say battery.
