- 2014 639 Viano- 651, 5sp Auto. 2009 S211- 646, 5sp Auto.
The Viano was originally fitted with AGM,
it had a wet cell when I bought it.
It charges at 14.2 - 14.3 volts, this drops to around 12 volts after a while.
So since the original rate should have been 14.7 volts I wonder if the charge rate is changeable, on Star.
It seems time for a new battery, so picking up the correct battery is important. At 14.2 volts charging an AGM wouldn't be it.
