If the battery saver active indicator illuminates on your Chevy Equinox, it signals that the vehicle has switched to battery-saving mode due to detecting lower-than-normal voltage during charging, aiming to prevent the battery from fully draining. This could lead to some electronic features shutting off, such as the stereo and air conditioning system. Typically, this indicator appears when there is an issue with the alternator's ability to charge the battery at 14.4 volts. It's recommended to inspect the alternator and conduct a battery test to ensure no dead cells are present.
