Hi all, has anyone fitted one of the Sealey battery monitoring devices (to any vehicle) ?
I fitted one a few weeks back & it tells me my D2 battery is losing about 22% of it charge overnight e.g went the Goodwood Revival Sunday & got back about 19.00 & as you would expect the app on my phone for it was showing 100% charged, at 09.30 this morning it's showing 78% charge !
Before I left for GW it was showing 44% & 12.5v as I hadn't used it for a week but it always starts 1st time (before you've let go of the key). Battery C31 -1000 is just over 3 yrs old & done 17,000 miles & the alternator (Hella 120A) is nearly 3 yrs old & has done 15,000 miles. It charges at 14.2v on my MM.
Could this be an early warning for the battery (has 4 yr warranty) or is the BMS not brilliant ?
