VXR8 Battery

[Mick Holt]

Good afternoon lads and ladies.

I guess this subject has been gone over before but I'm in need of some help.

Had a few issues with things like internal power sockets etc, after a bit of reading on google I discover that these cars are very sensitive to their batteries.
Checked mine, although fairly new, always running at around 15volts and never gets above 65% charged according to the engineer mode.
Its was a basic 70 amp Yuasa, I understand they need a "Silver" battery so I purchased a Bosch S5008 ( Sealed Calcium ) which I had read was a good choice for these cars.
But, is now charging even higher (15+ volts) and struggles to get above 61% charged.
So I'm at a bit of a loss.
Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

Regards
Mick

Thanks for the advise.
Quick update, I had the battery on charge over night and all seems to well with the volts and charging now although the aux power sockets have not come back on yet, may be they will after a couple of running cycles.
