battery

So I have an Ipad 3. It's about 6 months old, and I've noticed the battery is suddenly going down quick, probably about 1 percent every 5/10 mins from normal usage surfing. No damage caused to it just randomly started doing it. Where do I stand?

One problem after another with my 172 lately, by far the most unreliable and temperamental car I've ever had the displeasure of owning, and this is the standard one! so after my recent alternator failure which drained the battery I had it off the car and on bench charge all week. Refitted today...

Just a simple quickie... what size/rating battery have you track boys opted for? im thinking of the Varley red top 25, but a mate with a track based Cossie focus is saying i should go for a 40! to me I'd have thought the 25 would be perfect for the requirements of a clio. what are you...

Rs tuner is saying battery voltage is below 12.3 when I go to write and to proceed at my own risk. Car is hooked up to a cheap battery charger and battery levels flick between red Nd green in rst is it ok to proceed?

Been having problems with starting the car for the past few months... RAC were out and said battery was fine but something was draining it, took it to a garage to be checked out and they said it was fine but battery was faulty so swapped it. Same thing happened again and they just changed the...

I think my Clio needs a new one. What do people recommend? Is it worthwhile buying some form of updated battery? If so then any recommendations? For a standard ph2 172

had it in and the alternator is still charging. any ideas? the smell isnt coming inside the car just from exhaust emissions cheers in advance

Right so the battery on my 51 clio is completely flat. Not even enough power to flip the screen for my head unit up and barely lights the dashboard. When I connect the jump leads the power is completely cut off from my car. All the lights that were on, go off so absolutely to electricity is...

I've got a clio 1.2 16v 53plate just wondering does anyone know what the little box is on the positive battery clamp??

How long wil it take to recharge my battery in my 172?

Hi All, Having a bit of a nightmare with my battery at the moment. On the weekend I disconnected the battery to weld in my roll cage, I also had to re-route the rear loom and have tucked it away. It's all plugged back in and everything is working as expected, i.e. fuel pump, rear lights, wiper...

I need to move my car so i've stuck in the battery from another car, but the car won't turn over at all, turn the key and 'click' dead! I tried jump starting it from the other car but my alarm would not stop going off, and could no be turned off, so I swapped the battery but it's still f*cked...

Hi guys, just acquired an Odyssey PC680 battery & was wondering the best method of fitting this in a 172 Cup? I hillclimb the car so it has to pass MSA scrutineering or I'd probably just bodge something up.

So, my plan is to use a ODYSSEY PC680 battery http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/180863919420?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649 and mount this on the back of a 'co drivers foot rest' in the passenger foot well. i have also got two of these to safely put the power through the bulk head...

Evening all, I have to replace my Battery very very shortly. On the other hand, i have been looking for the best solution for the air feed on my CDA. Now, I was hoping i could kill 2 birds with 1 stone and use a Race battery, lay it down on its side and have more space to route my CAF? I know...

Hi Guys, Quick question....my alarm only sounds sometimes when i lock my car?(beeps) I only use my 182 as a pool car for work (2-3k a year) also the battery goes dead every now and then!? The battery looks new... Any comments welcome?

Since my battery died and i replaced it i now have a new Airbag fault, plugged the RS Tuner in and this is what i got: 'DTC9044, DF0187 - Ignition (trigger) Line Configuration (Incoherency, not plausable)' Unlike other faults the RS Tuner won't clear this one? Anyone have any idea's what it...

Hi Folks! The cold weather and lack of use has zapped the battery in my 2004 182. I have disconnected and recharged the battery and plan to re-connect it tonight as I need to use the car tomorrow morning, will the immobiliser need resetting before it will start? If so does anyone know how to do...

Hi Looking for advise on best way to relocate battery and best battery/wiring/connections to use. Have seen battery's under passenger seat and in boot! Thoughts please guys Cheers Scott

i have apple care, and i have just been on the phone to them. They got me to do some sort of battery reset by pressing loads of keys and the battery still says service critical. Coconut battery says I have 4481 MAh, 249 load cycles and 78% capacity. The man at apple care says I need to book a...

Hi lads, Had a look through the forums, but couldn't find anything conclusive.. Suffering from the old intermittent STOP & battery lights when the car is idling, or at low revs, anything below 1800rpm.. or when the battery is under load, rear de-misters, electric window relays, heaters on full...

Afternoon all, The time has come to replace my battery, as it is well and truly knakered. Does anyone have any recommendations for a standard battery, possibly places that offer warranty or guarantees? I've been looking at the Bosch S4 to replace my OEM one. Cheers in advance :p

Removed my old/knackered Alternator but in the process the o-ring terminal at the alternator side which connects the cable "to it" decided to snap, I was just wondering is it ok to make a new cable myself and if so what length should it be? or do you need to use the standard one as there is...

As some of you may notice from my previous posts in this section im having a bit of a night mare with 'French electrics' at the moment. I've been away for a few months and when I came back the other day my car started once and then wouldn't start again, I put it on a quick charge and got it...

Where is best place to get a new battery from for the key? And this might be linked to my battery maybe dying but i have to be really close to the car for the central locking to work, is this what it is like for you people?

So running late for work and the car wont start :(. Hasnt been used for a few days. Opened ok, all lights on but turn it over and nothing. Lock/unlock just for something to do, no joy. So i thought f^&k it and got a lift in. But oddly when i left the car and remote locked it the cd player was...

Evening all, I know there are a load of threads on battery's, however, they all basically give the standard details that 063 is the correct size for the clio 1*2. What does the AE*** mean? what does the **Ah ***A mean? Does anything matter other than it being the 063, as long as you get the...

Hi all, I think my car has an issue with the battery. After a short (maybe 5 mile) drive to pick up my dad it wouldn't start again within 5 minutes of turning the car engine off. Well instead my dad drove and I left the car at his. We got back within an hour and the car started ok (well I say...

I disconnected the neutral on my battery. When I reconnected it back up the CD player/radio asked for a code. I looked in my book and it said radio code: 2700. I put it in and entered it and it came up error. What do I need to do?

Right, earlier tonight my battery died and I had to call the AA now I only got the battery replaced about a year ago from the AA. Now I'm worried that tomorrow when I go to start the car the battery goes again, he told me it won't because the drive home should have re-charged the battery?? can...
