I kept having to use AUX battery to start the Rialta then regular car battery worked rest of the day. Finally decided to have it checked, battery was only putting out 10 volts when supposed to put out 700, needless to say needed a new battery pronto. NTBS in Austin got it done, they all wanted a royal tour of the RV when they finished. Me & 4 mechanics in my little VW Rialta, not too roomy. Ha

That should make you feel better! I had some problems with my battery after I got Lola this past spring and even though they told me it tested at 50% after I charged it I decided to have a new battery put in. We thought it was the backup camera but now I think I may have somehow left the dome light on and because of where it was sitting in the driveway I thought the light on the fence was lighting up the cab! In retrospect I think it was me and my error! Lesson learned! But at least I know what and when with this new battery! And I make sure I don't leave the dome light on when I park it! expensive lesson :oops:

Glad it was an easy and relatively cheap fix! A good battery makes all the difference, especially in cold weather!
