I don't seem to be able to to use use anything electrical very much without the Battery saving mode kicking in( even after a long run).
I've measured battery voltage when it kicks in as 12.8 volts.
Does this sound about right?
Does everyone have the same problem?

Re: Low battery/Energy saving mode 2008 C5
It is measured by the miles of each drive, either a long drive out of leave the battery off all day (and charging) and refit with the correct procedure later.
this resets the calculation, the car does not read the voltages/battery etc.

Stupid system Id say. Is there anyway of deactivating it?Stickyfinger wrote:It is measured by the miles of each drive, either a long drive out of leave the battery off all day (and charging) and refit with the correct procedure later.

Yep, drive more longer journeys
Nope
After my last reset I have not had a problem for weeks until today when fitting/testing the new fan and fixing the bumper back on.
I will just do a quick reset as I know the battery is fine and the car is confused by the start stop of the fault finding/testing the new fan.
