Why is my 07 ve Calais in Battery Saver mode?
Purchased an 07 ve Calais around 3 weeks ago. Turned it on today to drive home from work and had a ‘battery saver mode on’ message appear on the dash and then a few minutes later had a check engine light appear on the dash and stay there. Is it common for these 2 messages to appear together?
What should the voltage be on a dead battery?
Dead batteries can sometimes show 14.4v on a volt meter but there can be very short dips in the milliseconds to very low volts that again IC’s hate. I’m not 100% on the IC’s used in automotive but they should be around 200mhz to 400mhz. So a 1 millisecond drop could cause issues.
Why does my alternator say battery saver active?
Your message indicates that the electrical system voltage has fallen to 11.7 volts. This is rather low for a modern car with the engine running – normal voltage should be about 13.0 volts. Perhaps your new alternator has a bad voltage regulator which is preventing the alternator from charging at the expected rate.

Why does the battery warning light come on after replacing the alternator?
A relatively common “side-effect” of replacing a battery and/or alternator in a car is to have the voltage (battery) warning light come on. This is especially true in late-model vehicles with their more sophisticated internal diagnostic systems.
