Hi!
today I experienced following:
low battery mode on radio
my IBS battery charging system on and off, voltage always low
battery capacity low
strange whistling noise while accelerating (fan?)
no error messages/lights
no loss of power (enginewise)
been out the weekend in the mud/wading
did i crush the alternator?
anybody has an idea
P.S. heading east towards estonia next week so need quick help 
THanks some

so - just did a quick check:
Main battery: running engine voltage 12.8 V...
cut off engine voltage 12.2 V
so I figure I have to buy a new/renewed one  some
