Bentley battery warning came on, do I really need to panic or can I wait a bit
-
So the battery warning showed up on my Continental GT dash yesterday, along with the stop start not kicking in, and now I am not sure how urgent this actually is. The car still starts fine, no sluggishness, nothing weird otherwise. Part of me thinks it is just the car being dramatic, but another part remembers reading somewhere that on these cars the warning can come on well before the battery actually dies. I wanted to understand what triggers it before I rush into anything, so I decided to view this page and see what the symptoms actually mean, and it made me think I should not ignore it for too long. Still, I would rather hear from actual owners. Did anyone here get the warning and keep driving for weeks without issues, or did it fail soon after? And does the start stop being disabled always point to the battery or could it be something else entirely? Trying to avoid an unnecessary replacement but also do not want to be stuck somewhere with a dead car.
