by thatsgoodsquishy on 28-12-07 02:03 PM I drive work vehicles during the week so my b4 regularly doesn't get driven for 3 or 4, sometimes 5, days, never had a prob with the battery going flat. Its also got one of them gsm pager things going all the time as well as the keypad alarm but i don't think it would use much juice. Had a brand new battery put in when i bought the car in July so maybe thats why it lasts, looks like a bigger than standard batt to. If it wasn't a billion degrees outside i'd go have a look at the specs:D How old is ya battery? maybe thats all the prob is? |

But I thought once the battery is disconected Immobilizer has to be reprogramed by Subaru dealership, Am I wrong! |

by RX Liberty on 28-12-07 08:27 PM and just a quick add on (im a mechanic) doesnt matter how new a battery is they can always be faulty from factory, eg. dead cell (not holding charge) |

yeah basically as you said set the multimeter to volts and test how much charge is has from factory most are normal (around the 12v) some have been as low as 3 volts from factory(not charged very well) so it just pays to give a quick two second check before you wack it in, and always test if the alternator is charging when you have replaced a battery

by Subarujunkie on 29-12-07 05:41 PM with a multimeter it just gives you a reading of the battery condition which still gives you idea what charge is in it...but it dosent tell you if the battery will hold charge for that you need a battery load tester....but yes always make sure check charging when new battery is replaced.... |
