Patrol Battery Issue

[Kagiso II]

Hallo Kobus -- daar is n hjeele boel Tracking maatskapye -- Prado is bv by C-Track; Boezman was by TRACKER, Brutus was by Netstar .. en daar is nog -- Kan jy nie daai indjun in Ozzi land kontak en hom vra of hy anti haai-djek of soort Tracker affêre ingehad het nie ?
Soos hy daai Ungile gepamperlang het sal ek vas glo hy het een in gehad ??

[Clem]

I just contacted Netstar and my Patrol is not on their system - they checked the registration and VIN number.

Aren't there a number of different companies that provide these services?

In 1999 it was only Netstar and Tracker. Later it was sold to North West where the tracker was not required and the previous owner in Gauteng dit not have a tracker installed.

I only need to contact Tracker to ask them.

I charged the battery again and removed the charger on Saturday and yesterday it was back to 10.3V!

I disconnected the amplifier yesterday and start charging it again because I want to see what will happen now.

Sounds to me like a suspect battery.
Have you measured the rate of current flow when all systems are switched off?
It should be almost nothing (cant measure mine as my amp meter not working!) - just enough to keep the electronics from resetting (radio, comp, clock etc).

Kobus,


Agree with Chris. Your battery is terminally ill. Sure you have a cell dying.

[Herrie]

I allready had the battery tested - the load test and an electronic test - and both showed that the battery is 100%!

I think you should disconnect the battery all together, charge and leave.
If the battery is able to sustain the charge for two weeks issolated it should give some idear of the battery it self.
Good luck and keep us posted.

daai amp wat jy afgehaal het kan moeilheid maak........

[Peter Connan]

Kobus, die eerste ding is om die ampere te meet as alles af is. As jy nie 'n meter het wat dit kan doen nie, kom kuier vir my?

Ek is tog redelik naby aan jou pad huis toe/ werk toe?
