Hey guys
I am not sure if battery due replacement. It's been acting bit strange past few days. Car is Bluemotion Diesel 2014 done 86k miles.
Noticed lately that stop/start is not kicking in most times, but narrowed down maybe it's down to short journeys I started recently doing. Yesterday, after 30 min driving on highway, stop/start still didn't activate in town driving conditions. Pulled on drive and checked SOC which showed 60%.
This morning drove to work about 6 miles, no traffic 4am in the morning, battery status dropped to 50%. Start/Stop still didn't activate. After work, same journey with some heavy traffic, stop/start kicked in just before getting home. Thought battery will be showing 70% at least now but to my surprise it was still at 60%.
Also occasionally car struggles, it would crank longer than usual.
Batteries are not cheap for Bluemotion, so I would rather not replace it if not needed.
Thanks
