Possible battery problem?
Discussion
Some of you may remember I started a thread about getting a Monaro, and I veered towards a VXR8 instead, well I bought one yesterday, but more on that another time, I have a more pressing issue.
When I fire up the car the battery dial rolls around to about 14.6V, all good. But then as I'm driving I can watch the dial drop until 5minutes later it's sat around around 12.5V. It also seems to take some effort to fire the car up. This could be normal due to the engine size, I don't know enough about these cars yet. I don't think its an alternator issue, as I did a 6hr journey yesterday no problem, and the whole time the dial sat at 14.6Vish.
Any ideas?
