Hi guys, quick question. I have a 2010 Infiniti FX35 and I've been experiencing something strange. When I start the car (it doesn't happen every time), the battery warning light will stay on for about 5 minutes and then eventually go away. I ignored it at first, but today I started the car and it fired up normally, but both the battery light and BRAKE light stayed on for about 15 minutes before eventually going off.
I checked the battery voltage while this was happening and it was reading 11.57V. After about 15 minutes, the warning lights went off and the voltage was up to 13.9V. The battery is only about 18 months old. So, does this sound more like a bad battery, a failing alternator, or possibly something else? I'm especially wondering why the voltage starts so low and then eventually comes back up to normal.
I don't want to invest in an OEM part as I'm simply trying to keep this car until April next year. Any recommendations on AMAZON parts? I found this one.
