Danish07 Posted December 25, 2010 Posted December 25, 2010 hey guys, first off, Merry Xmas to everyone! Hope you're all having a good time So, my battery...........is it possible that the cold killed it? its been parked outside for 3 weeks since it was snowed in so i havent had the chance to drive it anywhere. This morning when I went to open it and get something out of the car, the remote didnt seem to be working. On closer insection all the lights/leds were dead too. got in with the key, no alarms went off so i tried the ignition. Lo & behold, it was dead! I guess what I'm asking is; could the cold have killed it or should I be worried that there's a more sinister killer out there? Dan Quote
350 Russ Posted December 25, 2010 Posted December 25, 2010 definatly would have been the cold, its a common thing at the moment. give it a good charge and see how it goes, i dont try and leave mine for any longer than 3 days without starting in this weather. Quote
Danish07 Posted December 25, 2010 Author Posted December 25, 2010 hmmmm, i guess so. i shouldnt have left it alone for so long.......well, you live and you learn. a terrible shame though, my portable battery charger is at home....150miles away perhaps i'll call the rac, they can charge/replace batteries right?

ZedJoe Posted December 25, 2010 Posted December 25, 2010 Hey Mate, Mine had the exact same issue, i left mine in the garage for 3 weeks and tried to start/open with remote and got nothing... i unlocked the door with a key but couldn't get the passenger door open lol. I had my mate jump start me and it worked first time you can do that as a temp fix but you will need to recharge it ASAP. I let mine charge for a day and its fine now, actually its AMAZING now... the ECU was obviously reset in the process ! The guy who owned it before me drove 2k miles a year and was 72 years old so went from 1st to third to sixth everywhere ! MY GOD did the ECU reset make a difference... i've fell in love with my zed all over again. Its like a new car... i did think it was fast when i first got it but it never really suprised me but now WOW Also be advised when i jumped it the alarm went off when you complete the circuit so just use your remote to unlock as it should work then and turn it off ! Cheers, Joe Quote
Danish07 Posted December 25, 2010 Author Posted December 25, 2010 thanks for the advice joe. unfortunately most cars on my street are gone so no one to jump me. i'm sure th RAC can do tht though Quote
