'70 with a dead 12v battery... 8.04v across the terminals.
Put a set of jump leads on it, as per the destructions, and the hybrid gubbins woke up instantly. Took a moment to start, and the alternator was doing its thing... 14.08v.
Left to run at a fast idle for 20 minutes, but when left to idle, the stop start crap kills it and it doesn't have the ooomph to restart. Battery voltage unchanged from the initial test.
Conclusion being that the 12v battery is toast?
