My 2013 Master has a new battery and has been checked over by a Renault Garage and no faults found - no fault codes.... and I've checked all I can - connections, leads etc. the garage took off the front and cleaned all the connections checked leads and as there are plenty of volts assumed the alternator is OK.
Battery voltage OK - engine off 12.88
Start engine, immediately the oil level light goes out the battery warning comes on, charge rate kicks in and is around 14.2 - 14.3 volts, light stays on.
Intermittently - occasinally it will go out and the charge rate drops to 13.5 - 13.6 volts, then on comes the warning light and we're back to 14.2 - 14.3 volts.
The vehicle works fine, apart from the warning lights relating to low battery.
Is this related to how the alternator senses the battery voltage / electrical load or is it something else???
Any pointers will be gratefully received!
