2010 Chevy Impala "battery saver active" keeps coming on

Asked by La Mar 24, 2016 at 10:50 AM about the 2010 Chevrolet Impala LS FWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I had to replace my battery and cables due
to corrosion, the dealership wanted to
charge me $1,000 for the repair. Went
to autozone to get a battery thinking it
would stop the message frm coming on
but it didn't. So I still ended up letting the
dealer change out both the negative and
positive cable and the message still comes
on. Is there anybody still having the same
problem

I’m having this same problem, changed Alternator & battery, I’m going to try battery current sensor, it is the circle thing around the positive cables by the battery.

I am also having the same problem with my '10 Impala. I drive for about 10-15 minutes then my AC shuts off and a " Battery saver active" turns on. I think this is due to my battery sensor, i'm not sure if the sensor is around the right cable or if its just faulty. Should the battery sensor be around the positive cable or the negative cable? What does it exactly measure? Voltage in or voltage out?
