Thread: Flat battery

  1. #1

    Default Flat battery

    I've been away for a week and tonight I tried to start my 3 MPS GenII and it won't start and the gauges are squealing at me!

    Hehe

    Is it safe to jump start my car with traditional jump leads?

    I thought a week isn't a long time not to start your car, but I guess these newer cars have a lot more going on when the vehicle is turned off!!

    I read the manual an it shows me a procedure and the correct earth point

    Thanks a bunch

    Nope. It's been all good
    When it says battery low on the screen. That's the remote, right?

    Yep that's the remote

    Seems a very short time for it to go flat though. I've left mine for longer than that without incident

    Well I've never changed the car battery. I'm gonna jump it tomorrow and go for a good run in it

    I'll get the dealer to check out as my service (and new fuel tank) should be due soon

    Yup. I did do that. They were a bit low, but I just see water.

    I topped them up
