You are lucky to get a warning signal to change the battery. Now it is you to act. Change and put new battery soon.

Same it happened to my car last week. I was on vacation for 10 days and car was stopped on a parking for long time under high temperature. When I came and start the car it was working. and went for shopping. after trying to start the car it was very difficulty to start and blinks the battery light. And AC fan motor also stopped working and some times. Checked 2-3 workshops. One changed the terminal blocks of Dynamo and checked the battery is charging normal. But the light is not getting off. Everyone said its Dynamo is week and should replace and car should be there in their garage for minimum one day.. But finally myself realized that there is some short circuit and opened the fuse box. Found the fuse for charging system is burnt. Replaced myself for 50 fils and solved all issues.. Now everything is perfect except the fan motor is getting cutt off some times. So advise is that look yourself whats the issue first and dont blindly believe any mechanics and dont drop off your car there and left to sleep in home...

@ habib abdul. Good that you used the brain and saved huge money. It seems the garage had no idea what was root of the problem and they would have done trial and error method. At the end they would have found fuse and demand 20 KD for some repair while their cost is 100 fills.

If the battery is charged then the voltage between + and - should be about 12.6V Its used only for starting the engine. Once engine starts then the alternator supplies the electricity to other circuits as well as charging battery. If alternator is good and charging then while engine in idle check the battery voltage it should be around 14.2 V .This means dynamo is fine. If dynamo is fine and battery is getting weak then check charging circuit specially the charging fuse in the fuse box. btw @habib abdul how did you reach the charging fuse ? which car do you have ?because in Camry we need to remove about 38 screws and dismantle many near by connections to get the fuse out.Very bad design.

@Shuwaikh.....My car its Camry 2004 model. In my case the fuse box is located near the battery and its screws for box cover is almost already removed. So I can easily remove. I Think so the box cover is not complicated to remove for replacing or inspecting the fuses any model cars. . I used the fuse diagram already downloaded from Camry user manual and keeps in my car. The charging system fuse number was fuse # 8 and its ampere was 5A. Very Simple procedure.

Hi All,
there are lots of Duplicate batteries in the Market. Most probably Amaron batteries. The Main dealer in Shuwaikh from Rajastan provides duplicate batteries.
I have faced in a month 3 times. As 3 times my battery was gone faulty and not charging at all. Its just 2 weeks since i purchased this battery, When i told them to replace they refused saying battery is fine and dynamo or wiring problem. but it was not dynamo or wiring issue it was duplicate battery which they sell in the market. Later i threatened them i will call Police and finally they agreed.

Thank you habib abdul. I too have the same model car. Your tip is helpful. @ hitman , yes you are right , previous Amaron baterry for me lasted for 3-5 years. This time only 9 months and it was bought from the same shop that you mentioned . I bought it from them as they home delivered and fixed it in my car.
