Collapsed Battery
Discussion
Hi all,
Got a Tuscan 4.0 in Viper Blue a few months ago, only one problem so far and thats the battery. The guy who had it before me only did 150 miles in 9 months so the battery was dead when the car was picked up. It was then fully charged and car was fine. Now battery is dead again ao I suspect its not holding a charge and is donald ducked. Have a new battery waiting to go on but need some advice. How do you stop the alarm going off all the time when it can't detect the battery! Any quick workarounds or do I have to wear ear-plugs and grin and bear it?

Hmm... When I disconnected the battery to put it on charge it never went off but when I came to put it back on as soon as the connection was made the alarm started? It then carried on until both connections were secure when I could disarm it. I put it down to the battery being flat at the time of disconnection and according to the alarm booklet it searches the system for the battery as on of its checks.
Anyone got a definitive answer cos that noise goes right through me - would love to be able to do it at a peaceful leisurely pace.

I'm sure there's a backup battery on it somewhere cos when I first got the car the battery was dead - it wouldn't even unlock the door. After a bit of a charge (10 mins) I tried again and the alarm went off - doors still didn't open and I was stuck in a garage with a very noisy Tuscan. Also seem to recall that the alarm really increased in volume when the charged batteries terminals were secured as if it was using some other power source first.
Logically it must have cos if someone wanted to nick the car they could just unhook the battery and tow it away.
Anyhow looks like I'm going to have to get a headache.
What about if I hooked up a slave battery to the terminal under the car before I started - would this solve the prob?
