[QUOTE="wolfgang, post: 587774, member: 22373"] Had my battery on charge . Put it on the van fully charged. Went for a drive for about 35 mins last night with headlights on. Stalled it at some lights and then couldn't start it from what appeared to be a flat battery. Bump started it and got home. On the drive with lights on and engine running a voltmeter recorded 13.2 v . I fitted a new alternator 12 months ago. I don't know how old the battery is. Am I right UN thinking the battery has had it. My battery charger has an error reading for a defunct battery but it is not showing anything. It will charge as normal but won't hold charge. Am I missing something or should I buy a new battery. Thanks [/QUOTE]
