The gauge inside is telling you how many volts your alternator is putting out, not yoru battery. Go have your alternator tested to see if it is putting out 14 volts or more...........if not, you are drawing more current out of the battery then what the alternator is replacing and you are going to end up with another dead battery. They can test alternators at Autozone for free or you can go get a multi meter and test it yourself. Have the alternator checked.
I would drive it at least enough to keep the battery charged. The battery can actually fail just from not being charged.
it indicates that the alternator is not functioning sufficiently to keep the battery charged.
Get a new battery, mine was doing the same thing. No matter how charged it is, youll still need a new one.
There is probably a bad cell in the battery. Take it to an auto parts retailer and have them check the battery for you.
Have the battery load tested at your local auto parts store, even though you think you have it charged it may be bad. Have the charging system tested also.
reincarnate your battery dudes XD
I had to take mine to the local Chevy dealer to get the code to reset the radio after the battery was changed. I was charged $40 by them to do this.
did you find the problem?? i having the same deal with my '06. new battery and alt is fine!
The Chevy volt car is an electric car but not fully because the battery only goes for 25-50 miles per charge. After that, a gasoline engine starts and produces energy for the electric battery to run the car. Gas is only used after the battery is run down and can be charged again.
Could be, (assuming the starter is not cranking the engine) a bad starter, dirty or loose battery connections, the engine is seized.
the library should have a shop manual for this vehicle, you can make copies of the right sections :)
Check your battery to see if it is fully charged and your wires are clean and tight. If so, you probably need a solonoid.
