I replaced my battery with a high starting power and it starts up sweet now.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

15 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

hi all, When my car gets warm the battery voltage indicator comes down from 14v to about 13v. Is this normal?

POST 2Original post

Not sure it's got much to do with the temp but yes it should be hovering around 13.7 volts. Sounds ok.

POST 3Original post

I did not think a 996 had a battery volt meter ?

POST 4Original post

When your Alternator finishes charging your Battery it will drop to around 13.5v Around 14.5 for on.

POST 7Original post

All Makes of car are slightly different but as long as your max is not bellow 14v you should be ok. The norm is around 14.5v for most makes.

POST 8Original post

Does a tracker make a huge difference? Mine is a tracker horiizon but thinking of cancelling subscription as not sure I'd want it back if it was stolen and driven ragged.

POST 10Original post

I don't know the details of every tracker in the world but one major point of them is that they (usually) come with their own battery, otherwise it wouldn't very hard disconnecting them would it. ;-)

POST 11Original post

Small Internal battery yes, but the tracker itself should be hidden and some are rather difficult to find. + the internal battery needs to charge from the vehicle battery and therefore is a constant drain. If you can hide people in a car imagine how hard it is sometimes finding a small box LOL

POST 12Original post

Ha ha, image that in the back of a 911. [ ] When I had a tracker I got a map of where it was hidden and a new battery in the mail every year to change for myself. But maybe it's different from tracker to tracker.

POST 13Original post

So many cars end up bought second hand with the new owner having no idea of a tracker fitted let alone where it is.

POST 14Original post

Mine has a Tracker and requires a £99 'service' every 5 years when the battery is replaced. Don't think it is attached in any way to the car's supply. I wouldn't have it removed if I were you. Think of the increase in your insurance premium. Regards

POST 15 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks guys for all your input. It looks as if its intelligent and drops a little after the battery is charged. I replaced my battery with a high starting power and it starts up sweet now.
