Flickering lights--sounds like a charging/electrical problem!!! V70-XC70 2001

posted by  someone claiming to be tomo on  Wed Feb 12 13:01 CST 2003 [RELATED]

Hi,
Have you checked level in battery? Although they claim to be maintenance free some still need top-up (with distilled water)easily overlooked even on brand new batteries. If battery has several screw caps on top it is worth checking as no battery new or old will hold a charge efficiently if level is not correct eg: level should be approx 1/8" over top of cell. Also if level is found to be very low in one or more cells top-up gradually as over dilution is not a good thing.
regards tomo
