Haven‘t done it yet. I am curious why i can only meassure 11,95 to 12,05V with my 2,5 year old battery when testing it after a drive and standing time
of 2-3 hours. I was in touch with my dealer if this is normal with my car (they want to see the car onsite), from oldschool cars in know a good battery is between 12,5 to 12,8 if fully charged and healthy.
Can someone light me up about this with my Volvo S60 (2023)?
I meassure directly at the plus point under the hood and somewhere (some screw) for minus.
Is this normal with a Volvo is there something that brings the current to exactly 12v and i am not meassuring the real battery (i know its on the left in the trunk)?
What is making me ask this? I charged the battery for 24 hours with an 4A charger and could not meassure a difference at the battery afterwards.
My Multimeter is okay i've tested it against a lab power supply with 13,7V while the Multimeter shows 13,6V
So there is anything with my battery or this is expected behavior when meassuring a modern car
Side note, i drove only old cars before didnt knew that you not smash the hood down to close it with a Volvo, luckily i didn't destroyed anything, so from now i press the hood down gently
I would use the correct point for minus but i am missing the 3rd arm where a finger can press the trigger for the picure while holding the iphone at the correct position. ;-)
I still haven't bought Orbit yet (but this will happen soon).
FYI it doesnt matter if i meassure while car is open or closed the ignition was always off while meassuring.
Something else when i was at the workshop while updating to 3.7.0 and capturing my pins
my car was connected to a professional charger from Bosch, while VIDA was working i could see on the chargers display that it was jumping between 7-8A.
