All,
The OEM batter was over 56 months old. Cig. lighter adapter car volt meter [Amazon link ] showed 11.8volt. Clearly it was time to replace. So after fully charging Remy AUX 18L and verifying with volt meter that battery is producing 12.9V, battery was then installed in the car.
With the new battery in, i3 turned on and drove normally. Only prompt was to set the time (date was retained somehow). But, the voltage meter in the cigarette lighter adapter (front, center, under console) is still showing 11.8V. What could be causing this?
The 56 months old battery on testing with volt meter shows 12.9V as if its new but I think voltage under no load can be higher.
