Usually after a 2 - 3 mile run the battery has been charged enough for the message not to reappear until the following morning
It is going in on 9 Jan for technician to have a look unless I need Volvo Assistance sooner!
Luckily so far it has not failed to start, but I have taken to carrying a 12v starter pack with me in case.
By recently I mean every morning since 11 December.

I noticed this warning (the power save one) for the first time today. I assumed it was because I do short journeys 95% of the time. Does this mean I am at risk of the car not starting then? That is a little disconcerting if so.
