I had already got a feeling the battery might need replacing as sometimes when the auto box has been changing up/down the headlights have flickered and it's been a little sluggish firing up in the colder mornings.

Just got my LR's "Original" seven year old battery tested, Was told that is still in good shape and didn't need replacing. That even after seven years of Canadian winters. |

I have always replaced my battery at 4 years, it's not worth the time and resources. Number one problem for breakdowns is batteries.

I had a firmware update on my my13 dynamic, which updated the battery charging. I was consistently getting low battery warnings before the automatic shutdown kicked in. After the update low battery warnings disappeared, and gattery coltage increased from around 12.5V to a healthier 14. Fuji White MY13 SD4 Dynamic

. What makes you say the battery must be fine? remember, just because a car is new, thats only registration and possibly some of the components. most of the parts have probably been on the shelf of LR or the supplier for months or more before being fitted, and then there's the chance of it being faulty from the supplier. I would say if after 20 minutes with a dvd player plugged in (providing its a car dvd player and low power) you probably have a faulty battery, also 12k in 3 years is very low, which means its probably only ever been used for short journeys,.. just a thought..

Try less than 5k for a MY13 to date. Virtually all very short trips & only a handful of half decent trips. Not exactly ideal for a starter battery! Procrastination, mankind's greatest labour saving device!
