Battery Saver Stays on Voltage Normal - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Any idea on how to turn off the Battery Saver Notification? My voltage on normal and the car runs normal. But everytime I start the car, the battery saver light turns on...

If this stays on, it's usually an early indicator of either 1) battery getting ready to go bad or 2) alternator is about to go bad.

Well it must be the alternator because I replaced the battery a few months ago...

Have it and the alternator tested. Just because you replaced it, doesn't mean it's good. You could have gotten a defective battery.

Yep, I've had that happen a few times where I got a bad battery. Have them both checked as stated to be sure.

Yeah, I'll definitely test both. Thanks gents!

Got the battery and alternator tested, alternator is perfect. The battery was reading at 12.17. I'm assuming I can put this on a trickle charger to recharge it.

Exactly. I had a 9 month old Everstart Platinum AGM go bad on me with no warning. You just never know for sure until you test it. *Yes, it's a Walmart battery, but there are only a handful of battery manufacturers in the country and most are rebrands.
