Went to start my V70 (2002) on Saturday & it seemed to struggle to fire up at the first turn of the key. It did start & then I noticed that the dashboard clock had lost it's time, I reset the clock & it has kept the correct time since.....however the car does not appear now to start with the usual vibrancy it always has in the past & for a very brief moment today a message flashed up....something to do with "battery voltage" ?.....I can't seem to get the message to replicate itself to read it in detail unfortunately tho'

Thoughts anyone ?......I do know the car had a new battery back in 2011 when I bought it.
