Ford Mondeo wont start sometimes especially when cold. battery still has full power

Car: Ford Mondeo
Variant: 2.0 TDCI Ghia
Model Year: 2006
Categories: Running Rough, Starting & Power Loss
Car won't start sometimes. Put ignition on and after the glow plug light disappears ,turn the key and the speedo and rev counter go right round to max and sounds like a click as if battery has died or no kick to start it. The car start with a booster pack.
When the car does start normally or with booster ,it will start but will take a good few seconds before it gets any power to move.

If you LOAD test your battery , probably find it needs replaced .

Thanks for the reply. I have tested battery and alternator, both seem to be working on full power.

What battery voltage in battery ?

12.4 when still. 16ish when running.

If the battery is reading at 12.4 volts, then it’s 75% charged .If it's charging at " 16" ish , it is overcharging . Battery / alternator or both knackered
