Which trim is your vehicle and what size battery?

How would the trim affect the alternator?

I was referring to his battery. The trim affects which battery he needs.

Earth to chassis was cleaned when new alternator supplied by LRdirect last week for my vehicle. The original was even tested and found to be okay but not sure how in-depth quickfit do check.

But does not affect the alternator charge characteristics.

I quoted the 'cant be two faulty battterries" not his alternator.

With engine running at 2rpm the battery is reading 13.7v

I take it you mean 2000rpm. So the alternator is not charging as it should. You need to check the earth strap. then it's down to the D+ wiring assuming the correct alternator is fitted.

I know you have checked the batteries but which trim and what specs for battery?

For clarity. I was sent chasing down and buying a new alternator for a similar ( but not exactly the same ) issue a few years ago. The alternator is still in its box in the garage. The battery, now the correct one, is happily doing what it should.

SK2000 · Nov 24, 2018

Yes sorry mean 2000rpm. Batteryis a RR Varta logo battery 110ah 850amp. Exactly same that the car has been running on for years with no problem until this year when everything seems to have come along at the same time

SK2000 · Nov 24, 2018

If I’m not mistaken the alternator was a Britpart 150amp but I’m just checking spec.

I may be chasing the wrong path, or it may be the battery isnt helping whatever else is wrong. How many years and what trim is the vehicle?

It’s the HSE 2006 L322 aj pet 4.4 V8. LPG conversion

Ok that helps. I will now stop asking about trim

There are two battery sizes for the L322 . The one you have is fine for the HSE. The larger one is necessary for the Vogue and above. Having the smaller one in the Vogue + can cause all sorts of issues.
Which means knowing the battery and the trim, in the L322 is relevant. The wrong battery affects the whole of the vehicle.
As anyone who has or knows the L322 comes to learn, the two things, to always start on with faults on the L322 is battery and diagnostics.
So I will now bow out and watch and maybe learn

Good luck and happy driving

P.s missing a trick here. Tapping in @Henry_b , @holidaychicken , @Saint.V8 and they can tap in others
