[Duminda_CR]

Hay guyz...

i got a problem with my ek3. when i driving suddenly the battery alarm comes. i checked the battery terminals even. there was no other issue. i wonder how it comes. it suddenly flash and goes some times. and some times it lasts for several seconds even.. might it be a problem with alternator?

It could be the alternator. think the light means that there is not enough charging going to the battery from the alternator. probably a loose connection in the alternator or an issue with the regulator. If you have a multi meter try hooking it up and monitoring the charging voltage on the battery terminals, when the car has started it should read above 14V. Or take it to a garage or a battery joint and check the alternator. btw, there are lots of threads about battery issue, try searching the forum.
