this morning (outside temp -7C) wife started the LR2, I came down 30 seconds later to find a little red battery symbol on the dashboard. Afetr usual warm up drove about 300m -the symbol did not go away, so shut the engine off. Re-started the engine-no more problems, drove fine after that.

Anyone had it happen?

thanks

I did notice mine stayed on for a few seconds longer after start up at same temperature recently, but it went out ok.

Not sure of the workings within FL2 re Alternator output versus battery volts/discharge level but I am aware that certain vehicles, my wifes Merc A Class being one, limits the alternator output if battery volts are lower than normal. This is to prevent current inrush and electrical spikes and transients that such inrushes can cause messing up other electricals. The alternator output slowly builds limiting charge current to the battery. Could this be the case keeping the battery lamp lit whilst the output builds in respect to FL2's?

UPDATE: 2 days after picking FL2 (LR2) from the dealer the same light is on again -took it to the dealer again, who called next day and said "we did not get to it yet, because we are very busy" -I will update on resolution of this problem.
