Finland 2013 Range Rover Sport 3.0 TDV6 Autobiography Rimini Red
Low battery / start car

Have had this warning flash up several times over the past week or so. Most noticeably when coming back from a 1 hour 45 drive where my speed was a constant 115km/h.
Have a front and rear dash cam installed since the spring and haven't had the warning come on. Not even when the car was parked up for a week a the airport whilst on holiday. SWMBO has come up with all manner of reasons, such as switching the engine off after taking foot off brake, or opening a door before engine is switched off.

Any advice - time for a new battery? This would be the 3rd time in 3 years that i change a battery in 3 years (albeit in different cars)

I had the same, its the Stop/start battery which is located behind the right hand panel in the boot. Needs a hard pull to open it Have cut & paste my earlier post on it

Just fitted the Auxiliary battery to my Range Rover Sport. Euro car parts did not have one in stock & wanted £125.99.
Purchased the proper Exide EK151 AGM 12V 15ah 200 amp from ebay seller (starterbatteries2011) for £48.90 delivered.
I emailed them asking if it was the correct battery for my car & they replied almost immediately. Ordered it around 4pm Friday & was told it would be delivered on Tuesday which was ok but it arrived next day. Wow that is some service. Also the battery it replaced was 14AH 200amp & this one is 15AH 200amp. So if you need one this is the go to place as far as I am concerned.
Took me about fifteen minutes & most of that was taken up pulling the panel open.

Had this problem when a Blackvue front and rear dash cam set was professionally installed. Had it removed and replaced by the same installers with a Thinkware set. Problem solved. Blackvue was causing very excessive battery drain for some unknown reason and had same issue with two Blackvue replacements for the original one.

I have the Blackvue and haven't had any issues until now. Was also surprised that after 1 hour 45 minutes driving that the battery would then flash up as being low. Figured it would recharge during that time.

Thanks. Will unplug the camera from the fuses in the boot and see if that changes the situation. Although Murphy's law would entail that is when something will happen and a camera would have been useful. 2019 RRS P400e Autobiography
