2016 GT
I think the original battery has expired…
The battery is 5 years old and the cars not getting daily use since lockdown, work from home etc
Running fine, but next day it wouldn’t crank, but making all kinds of weird clicks (not the old school dead battery noise of a single click…)
ESC warning message… a nice worrying distraction…
jump started fine, voltmeter showing 14v charge, after a run dropping back to 12.5v- the smart charging just to add confusion…
despite a good run, the next day it wouldn’t even unlock the doors
anyway after deep discharge, I will try overnight charging, but i think the battery is toast.
Battery is a bugger to remove - cant get your fingers under it and it’s right in the back corner by the hood hinge. Life hack here is to loop a couple of long cable ties through the holes in the battery lip and then voila it pulls straight out with your diy handles
just posting to see if anyone else has been here yet?
