Getting the Low Battery - Start Engine warning so need to replace.

Looking at Delkor LN4 ($490) or LN5 ($530)

any other suggestions?

cheers

Hi hiker and there are a number of reasons that can cause that message to come up and the most common cause it NOT a failing battery but a battery in poor condition.

If you don’t get it right, a new battery could end up in the same state in a short time.

How much driving have you been doing over the 6 months and how old is your battery?

Just short local, frequent stopping - plus monthly runs to Sydney.

Hi again hiker, my suggestion would be to buy a battery charger first and try rejuvenating your battery.
