24 valve Cossie Estate flicking needles

Sigh! Anyone know why the Dash needles flick over every now and then? I had a new Bty fitted and after a few months the needles started flicking over, say every 30 miles, on a long journey with stops aprox. 120 miles. I sent the Bty back to Varta, they checked it out, said it is fine. I fitted it and hey presto back to flicking about as above.
I look forward to all advice, as usual greatly apreciated.
Mike

Is it only happening when you first turn the ignition on or during a journey? Does the engine turn over easily every time?
I assume you're not checking the voltage using the instrument reset readout as they'll always flick next time you turn on the ignition - possibly days later when you've forgotten you checked the voltage.

Thanks Dave, it's always good to see you are up and about mate.  .
I've just done a round trip to Wales and back, some 280 miles with no bother at all, and yes I have been checking the Bty. voltage on the instrument reset button. Always thought the needles would flick just once so thanks for enlightening me.
Eeeh, you are good to me.
