What follows battery failure?
The last 2 batteries that I have had to replace have both gone with no warning. Drive somewhere perfectly OK but then when you try to restart there is absolutely - & I really mean absolutely - nothing. No signs of any battery life at all. All this is accompanied by a smell of rotten eggs which I am told indicates an internal short circuit within the battery which our battery supplier said was the way that modern batteries went.
My new XC90 owners manual talks about the car spending the first 5 minutes after switch off updating the computers. What happens if I get a battery failure & there isn't any power during that 5 minutes? I am not paranoid about this but I am interested as in the past 20 years these were the only 2 non starts that we have had & we have not had any other type of breakdown. |
