Discussion:
BDI drops rapidly

Hey guys,

Anyone had the BDI drop rapidly for no apparent reason?

Battery is ok, not new but certainly not buggered, all reading between 1260-1275 SG and voltage holds good under load but every once in a while it'll come off charge, it'll say 100% then all of a sudden it drops like a tap dancers wig, flashes and starts to bleep, it doesn't even go from say 100-80-60-40-20 then beep, it just falls rapidly in seconds for no reason.

I've been out to it twice now and each time I've got there battery is reading good and truck is working fine but customer has sent me two pictures over the past few weeks when this issue has happened out the blue

Fact of the week
In March 2002, identical twins in Finland died on the same day in similar accidents within hours of each other. A 70-year-old man was killed by a truck while cycling; hours later, his twin brother was killed by a truck on the same road, about a mile away, before the family had been informed of the first accident.
