I've got a flat battery issue, Alternator charges at 14.1 - 14.2v. I leave battery on charge over night, use it for a few days and it starts going again. The next day after 300 trip, the same. Van starts fine with booster battery. I used to get 'low battery' come up every now and again on the dash about year after buying it (bought new) 2014. The Battery condition indicator in the battery shows its fine. i just don't want to folk out for a £200 battery for it not to be the issue. Any ideas as it doing my head in.

Get it tested, but chances are the battery is knackered and can't hold a charge.
From memory the T5 uses a 019 battery - should be about £100 from your motor factors or delivered from the likes of Tayna online

Yea it can show decent voltage at rest but it's what can be delivered during a cold crank that is important.
