Battery in the BBUS
So, my truck has been in to have a bit of an audio upgrade with some installers who apparently aren't aware that it has a BBUS. Obviously, once they disconnected the battery the alarm started wailing at them, but instead of reading the manual and figuring how to do it properly, they decided to let the thing run until the battery died.

Now that everything is reconnected, is the BBUS going to recharge and work properly, or is it going to have problems as its battery has been fully discharged? 2013 Defender 110 XS DCPU

think they only charge when your running , so think I would leave it and try it in maybe a few days time ( depending on how much you use the defender ) just try disconnecting the main battery after a few days

Yes, it should recharge pretty quickly in normal use. I suggest that after a few of days of normal running you set the alarm off and check that the BBUS makes a noise. If it doesn't, replace it and present the installer with the bill.

Out of interest, how long did the battery last for?

They didn't say exactly, but reckoned it was about 10-15 minutes. 2013 Defender 110 XS DCPU

^^^ that's interesting, as last time I disconnected my battery I couldnt stop the alarm going off despite using the correct sequence for battery disconnecting. After a few (2-3 mins) the alarm stopped, I just assumed the sequence finally worked, but perhaps the BBUS just ran out of juice.

I guess the battery in there has a limited lifespan..?

Cheers

Simon
