What makes 2001 Volvo S60 show 'low battery voltage' and the battery to stop charging?

My 2001 Volvo S60 is perpetually showing "Low Battery Voltage" and the battery is no longer charging. I have gone through 2 batteries already and I don't know what to do next. Please help!|||Sounds like you have an alternator issue. Either the voltage regulator is bad (which is the case most of the time) or the whole alternator is bad. You can change the voltage regulator by itself if that is the problem. Or you can just change the whole alternator. They can sometimes be about the same amount of work to do, because on certain models it's hard to get to the regulator with the alternator in the vehicle. So if you take it out you can just change the whole alternator.


But have the charging system tested first to find out the exact problem.|||if you have put 2 batteries in you have wasted money already. you need to have your alternator checked. sounds like it is bad if it is not working and charging your battery properly you will be running just off battery power. i would say its a part time problem. but have it checked!|||I think you're alternator isn't working properly, and it's killing your batteries.


What you can do is go to Auto Zone, they do free electrical system checks.
