My TF started doing that, and I spent weeks doing all sorts of tests etc - eventually fixed by replacing the battery - which, although a little sluggish, was still capable of starting the car!


LION battery, replaced under warranty - a year later, same thign started happening again, replaced under warranty again.


Week or two ago, here we go again - as soon as the really cold weather starts. Exide battery fitted this time!


Just might be something like that with yours, who knows... guess the alarm detects a drop in voltage or something.
