"Low Battery" 13 v8v

[klee168168]

I noticed when I had the car turned on, but engine not ignited and playing around with the settings and trying to get used to my car, after 20 minutes or so, "low battery" came on. I know mileage is not indicative of battery life since my car has low miles. I'm not that handy but don't think I will be able to get to the battery behind the passenger seat (i think that is where it is located). Can you take it to a auto zone or pep boys and have them check to see if it will hold a charge? I don't know if these auto stores know anything about AMs. Will AM dealer charge arm and leg to replace?

20 mins of playing without the engine running is good going.

Go for a nice drive, about an hour and it will charge up. I keep mine on the battery tender when not used for more then a week.

I suspect it's an automatically generated message after a certain time switched on but not running engine as mine has done it for over 3.5 years but the battery has been absolutely fine.

The carrier who delivered it today told me that he does a few deliveries from west coast to east coast (vice versa). Typically, it takes 4 days and he will notice that once he gets to the final destination, sometimes he will have trouble starting the car to get it off the transportation pod. He says he believe that AM batteries must be started once every 3-4 days, otherwise it goes funky. True or not?

What year is your vantage Pete?
So it also pops up “low battery” messages when you’re idle for how long?

MY2014 registered Dec 2013.
With ignition on but engine not running and radio on it has just given me the message after about 7 minutes. Engine started fine at that stage. Ambient temperature about 7 degrees C.
