Disconnecting the battery for 20min. WOW

Post by JoshJ »

Guys, I came to realise this early during my Patrol ownership. But never gave it a second thought. Due to surcumstances I had to use the Trols Battery for another car last friday. I re-installed the battery an hour later and carried on with live.

Driving the Patrol I felt that punchy smooth drive again. This happens everytime the car has been for service, or when I disconnected the battery for 20min or so. The car just feels alive and more smooth afterwards. Then gradually overtime it deteriates. Why is this? and what happens? Do anyone else experience the same?
Being alive is a Blessing!!

Regards,
Joshua

Josh ek het onlangs iewers op die forum gelees dat die ECU oor tyd ons bestuur styl analiseer en dan daarvolgens aanpas. Miskien as jy die battery losmaak vir 20 min dan keer hy terug na sy default settings? :think:

Baie interresant. Ek gaan dit ook probeer, my Patrol voel goed maar ek sit afgeboek by die huis met arm operasie en soek iets drasties om te doen :rolleyes: . Sal laat weet wat die verskil is!

As ek vir omtrent 'n week weg van die huis gaan wees dan ontkoppel ek die battery en dan word die battery nie pap nie en as ek hom weer aan sit dan gaan alles reg.
