based on my reading, this car use smart alternator type, hence it move from 13.0v - 14.2v on the meter of the car. This car is battery eat if u dont lock the car, it keep draining the battery, hence it make battery life suffer more. I choose Camel 90D26L with much higher CCA rating vs stock, 85D26L, 740CCA vs 660CCA. On top, I did use Foxsur Battery charger bought from shopee, DIY charge it once a month since new, with I open up the Positive and Negative battery cables b4 put the Foxsur charger. The original battery of Camel 85D26L with blue colour last me 3 years 4 months, Merdeka 2020 to Dec 2023. Now with 90D26L with more CCA, by theory i will last longer hopefully. After 1 year 6 months on this, with charger practice, the SC noted the battery life (based on CCA) is at 98%

For the FC, it is acceptable if u drove sedately and max at 140kmh for long distance. Push it more than 140kmh, in my case at 160-170kmh, it drank much2 more than my other car with 2.4NA at similar speed. Cons that I cant understand is the inaccurate fuel indicator of L/100km of the meter, if compared to manual calculation, it lari more. In this case, my Accord fuel indicator km/l, range are more accurate vs manual calculation.

no idea for the vroom2, but iiwu will send to warranty

Wow thanks for the informative reply. Upon checking, my battery is Amaron 95D/26L... both the original Camel and Amaron 95D/26L left around 38% power based on the meter. The original one had one incident where I couldn't start the car and needed someone to come to power up the car with another battery, and the recent one also cannot start but can start later without help. Technician said my battery maybe can last for a few more months hence I just changed it after 2 years despite being Amaron 95D/26L.

I think X70 need more power to start the engine, I could be wrong. Now I have the phobia car cannot start.

Since I just changed both tyres and battery this year, I think I will drive my car for at least another 1 year. With the new facelift for X70 coming, I think our X70 will depreciate more. My neighbour's X70 Premium CBU sold off last year for around rm70k. Surprised he got such a good price.

I just got an update from my battery guy, maybe it is my alternator got problem that's causing the fluactuation in power reading. When I drive it fluctuates from 12.7V to 13.1V despite being new battery.

Can I check if anyone has changed this alternator and what's the warranty period? 3 years or 5 years?

The X70 has a smart alternator (charger) that adjusts the charging voltage to suit the current situation and battery condition. So if you look at the Vref, it can fluctuate between 12.5V to 14V. That's perfectly normal.
Your battery guy is talking about old-fashioned alternators which have a fixed voltage, normally 14.0 to 14.2 Volts.

Better check with SC for the alternator. At SC they will come out with battery report, CCA rating/life as well as Battery Charging health in percentage. For my car that already 4 years old, the battery charging/alternator health is still at 100%. Sorry rarely trust outside workshop for battery

I am not sure. Both the battery guy (quite good in skill) and the Proton 3S workshop say alternator having problem. My car today starts from 12V to keep going from 12.3V to 12.9V... keeps dropping down. The 3S center has help me request a new alternator and asked me not to drive. The battery guy said the same thing too. I have been driving this car almost 4 years, year 2020 CKD 1.8 turbo. Previously the voltage always around 13.6 to 14.2. Never went down below 13.5v. I just changed battery 95D/26L because lately the battery goes from 13.1V to 13.6V. Now I am a bit worried the problem cannot be resolved after alternator change. 

This lack of parts in Proton annoys me, now I can't drive my car and even the battery workshop said I have to go Proton workshop as they cannot order the original alternator. No choice but to wait....

Just did. The service manager tested with his device and made the comment the situation is bad... lol.

BTW one question, if my voltage from dashboard fluctuates from 12.3v to 12.8v then sometimes to 13.1v when the car stops at traffic light then immediately drops to 12.3v, does it mean the car is still charging just erratic?

can claim a warranty? I know many BMW and Conti user restore their Alternator at Kwong Weng Auto Electrical Service and Trading, Kepong back and all of them happy with the after restore process

means the voltage generated is not enough to charge the batt
most of the issues are due to the alternator electronics, especially the rectifier component.

Sorry I don't really know what this mean. So is the alternator still charging the battery (just weak)? Can I still drive the car or better not drive it until the new alternator is here.

The manager says can claim. I don't know if it will be rejected by Proton. But takes around 2 to 3 weeks... faint. I am in Johor.

Warranty then. Usually approved one. Wait 2 weeks for parts readiness at your SC. Solve all issues related to the battery

Long wait for parts, very tempted to go another SC with stock to change at Rm1200, but worried if changed already still same (ie not alternator issue).

Past experienced  last time, it took 2 weeks top for warranty claim for my near home SC, another with Kelana Jaya 3S. The Kelana Jaya claimed brake rotor cz brake juddering at high speed braking, 2 weeks, while another at Puncak Merah Semenyih for auto boot parts, also 2 weeks

I am definitely selling this X70 next year. Seems like after warranty period finished all parts tend to have problem. Was just told alternator only 3 years warranty... I no longer know what's covered for 5 years.

My car getting this weird fuel indicator, last night at 2 bar, 112km range. This morning when started, 3 bar 188km range. Drove 20km on 188km range, down 60+ km range. Becoming more weird. Sc appointment next Thursday, anyone had this issue?
