Skyline V36 Battery

[protik]

Hi guys,

Just wondering if I have the right battery for the 08 Skyline 370GT; at the moment there's a Neuton Power 85L610 12v (http://www.ktbattery.com/neuton-power/automotive/car-battery-neuton-power-85l610.html) battery installed in the car which is one year old. However, the car's 3rd party Viper security alarm keeps going off with the message “battery voltage low” whenever the car has not been started for more than 2 days or so. It will go off for a minute stop then it might go off again in 5 minutes or 4 hours. The alarm is not armed when it does this either.

I checked with compliance and also Infiniti Australia and have been told that the battery is fine and that it's pretty normal for Skyline's battery to run flat/low if it has not been started for 2/3 days. Is this correct?

Obviously going to chase if it up with the alarm system dealer soon however would appreciate if you guys can advise whether installing a different battery might stop it from running low. If so, what battery do you guys use on the V36?

Thanks in advance.

What's the actual voltage of the battery when you receive the warning? Reason why I ask is because unless you have a lot of accessories in the vehicle which draw some power even when the vehicle is off, a decent battery should be good for almost 2 weeks.

I think the general consensus is about a week but I've had mine last for two weeks before it was impossible to start. For what it's worth, I've also got an aftermarket alarm as well as a couple of amps of which neither should be drawing add much as yours may be. With that setup, I got my 2 weeks.
