Thus the Car thinks that the alternator is faulty because of the low output vs usage sent to the battery/Car <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite3" alt=":(" title="Frown    :(" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":(" />I've tried switching to the standard battery and in just a few minutes the battery warning sign is gone. But then my Sound system sucks too...I still think its his Alternator -Voltage Regulator (copper brush and regulation system) that is faulty instead... cause it make sense when you speed up, the alternator will speed up too; sending fluctuation faster thus the warning sign is imminent when on high RPM.Check this part first (it cost the least)<img src="http://i292.photobucket.com/albums/mm39/Girmu/Voltageregulaltor03.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://i292.photobucket.com/albums/mm39/Girmu/Voltageregulaltor02.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://i292.photobucket.com/albums/mm39/Girmu/Voltageregulaltor01.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />The parts can be obtained from online shops such as ebay/pelican parts <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />Good luck broBTW Refurbished alternator are basically change of regulator, brushes and cleaning the alternator it self... so why not DIY and save.</blockquote>
