ErickwithnoK Posted November 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2017 It was charging at almost 15v and the battery was showing 12 with the engine off, I definitely will check it again tonight as well as the charge light. I definitely don't want to get another alternator, plug it in and have the same problem Quote Link to comment
racerx Posted November 10, 2017 Report Share Posted November 10, 2017 Charging at almost 15 volts is good. Quote Link to comment
ErickwithnoK Posted November 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2017 I swapped the wires on the plastic plug and the charge light worked properly (after jumping my dead battery). Let it charge up and it seems to be doing what it should. I have almost 15v charging and the charge light is on at key on, and off when the motor is running. I'll see if the battery drains this time Quote Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted November 11, 2017 Report Share Posted November 11, 2017 buy a cheap 4 dollar test light. EZer than using a multimeter. Using a multimeter shows 12volts draining or not unless you use the current part of the meter which you hook up in series to the battery. a test like is the same but lights to say it DRAINING. a meter will give you a uA or mA number and then you say is that the right number or not. go to you tube and look up scotty Kilmer battery drain vid about 45-50 secs in to it show how to ck for this. also by a volt meter that plugs in to the cig lighter. they work great and see a alt go bad before it put you on side of the road insread waiting for the IGN lit to come on is too late usually 1 Quote Link to comment
