Battery or Alternator ?? battery lights

[YEN96]

Guys, recently my eg6 encountering battery indicator light up. The battery indicator lights up only during start up and idle. when i drive above 2500rpm, the indicator goes away. i confirm and tested during driving...indicator lights up below 2500rpm...above that no issue.

what could be the problem and any checks i could do myself before go to workshop ?

I just change battery and alternator about 1 year ago only. So fast mati already ?

I had the same problem for a while, then realise it was just a loosely connected alternator plug. Check your wiring and sockets, make sure all nice and tight.

Yeah. Mine was just sitting there so visual checking looked like it was ok, until I physically pressed it and it clicked in. So it was off-on connected which was why the battery lasted so long. The alternator has 2 connectors, one should be a plug or something and the other is just some ground terminal.

bro, i just check the connection...yes, the head connection plug was loose, i pushed and it clicked in.

battery indicator still lights up...so i should now drive the car to charge back the battery ??

Just drive it for a while and let the car recharge it or send to shop to recharge it. Monitor for a day or two and you should know the end result (whether it's still a problem or not)
