<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial> I do know how a charging system works
and most all other auto related electrical issues . What I never really
understood is why a car battery is so iffy, illusive what ever word you prefer.
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial> When I was in the repair buss we had testers
of all sorts, yet you really could not depend or be certain if any test was the
entire story. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial> When I brought up the issue with low
voltage driving at night . I charged the battery in 2 3 hour 2 amp charges
in 2 days , 6 hours. it came from 12.32 V to 12.57 V. Then after that I
ran the engine and checked the battery voltgae with lamps all on and off.
I only ran the engine at most for 1 hour . I felt well this had to drain it some
, I gave it another 3 hour 2amp charge and read 12.66 volts .</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial> I wait at least 15 hours after a charge to
check it. I alos know that these 3 to 4 starts and maybe 3 miles driven does not
cut it. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial> I don't feel I need to charge it every day it
sits. And certainly don't feel I need to check battery voltage before every
drive I make . I would if I had a mounted voltmeter I could flip a
switch and see or spend the 5 minutes it takes to connect my DVOM and check
.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial> My in car mounted meter is connected to other
gauges all I can do is isolate it with a switch. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial> It drives me
nuts.</FONT> </DIV><div id="DAB4FAD8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2"><br />
