omg, i thought this was only happening to me, got a 34 gtt, and the battery has carked it (although recently, its been better than before). i was having a power leak for a while. i get home from work at 6pm, and i start the car in the morning at about 8.30am. atm, the charge when i turn the key is about 11.4v, a while back, i would reach like 10, and sometimes under. sometimes, i would just barely start the car. leaving it for a couple days not driven will need a jump start. my prev battery was from nrma, and they replaced it with another one about 2 months ago. the old one was completely funked.

as in what type are they??

bonnet pin - find it and disconnect it.

hey chris

i think they are called ultrasonice or sumthing. pls see attached pics:

ok it's getting worst now. even if i don't arm the car the alarm still goes off randomly. my motion sensors in the car kicks in after a minute without arming so i'm not sure if it's the bonnet or the sensors now

Mine has a similar issue, if I don't drive it for more than 6 days the battery goes flat... it's f**king annoying. Secondary alarm goes off until I get enough charge to disarm it and then jump start. Issue was temporarily resolved when I got a new battery under warranty, but within a month the problem returned.

Had the alternator checked at last service and all checked out ok.

I'm inclined to think it's these shitty supercharge batteries (which I didn't fit to the car)... luckily they have a 36 month warranty.

apparently my previous installer installed the ultrasonic sensors at the spot where rain water will run thru in the car (what at tool!!) - wasn't the bonnet sensor at all.

all it needs is a sensor replacement from autowatch

highly recommend will from alberts myaree who sorted out this problem for me for any alarm jobs.

If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
