Hello all. My car is seeming very slow to start now it's colder. Battery is new a couple months ago, once it's running it's fine but I get that sluggish battery nearly dead turnover. When hooked up to another running car it starts quick and easy.
Alternator gone?

Re: alternator?
Get yourself a multimeter and check the battery voltage should be around 12V when it's off, then get it running and it should be up above 14v while charging.

Re: alternator?
Cheers chaos, I'll get one when I'm next off work haha. Unbelievable I've gone on this long without a multimeter.
